From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for exceeding our expectations on year one of DJs Assemble! There was so much love, support, unity, collaboration, chemistry, game changers, talent, and laughs over the past few days and we are filled with tons of gratitude and joy! Thanks for the standing ovation and the end and hopefully there will more opportunities for DJs to⌠Assemble đđđ§Ą

A packed dance floor an hour into your dance set is great⌠but if you canât get them moving at the START, youâre already playing catch up.
One of the biggest mistakes I see DJs make at school events is waiting too long to build energy. The first 10-15 minutes of dancetime sets the tone for the ENTIRE night.
At proms especially, Iâve found that coming out strong from the first song of your set completely changes the trajectory of the event. Once that energy and trust is built, the crowd stays locked in all night long.
Iâll actually be speaking about my performance techniques for school events at DJs Assemble in Syracuse NY and will be breaking down a lot of the strategies I use to consistently pack dance floors at proms and school dances.
If youâre a DJ doing school events, youâre not gonna wanna miss this one đ
