Singles
/ Open Dances
One
of DJ Dancer's favorite venues. Usually this audience
is more mature than those found at a bar or club.
As mentioned in the Bio
DJ Dancer is a baby boomer and understands this
kind of audience the best. An important part of
being a DJ for singles dances is creating a romantic
mood. Most singles do not want a high energy, aerobic
workout where they wind up dripping wet. The ebb
and flow on energy is very important. Slow dances
punctuate the cycle of raising the energy and then
bringing it back down. Playing only one high energy
song in a set is the best. You want your customers
to have a good time not workout.
More
than anything you must attract the ladies to your
event. The best strategy for DJing a Singles Dance
is to understand intimately what women want, which
can be very complex. The mood must be suggestive
and romantic but never crude. You can play "Who
Let the Dogs Out' but it is going to change
the atmosphere. 'Rapture' by 'Iio' would be a much
better choice. If the ladies love your event
then the men are sure to follow.
Also,
to DJ a singles dance you have to understand that
some very good dancers frequent Singles Dances because
of the unique variety of music played at these events.
Really good dancers that normally frequent ballroom
studios go to singles dances for a change of pace
where the DJ plays mostly Freestyle, Hustle, Cha
Cha, Merenque and slow dances. Even professional
dancers like to do freestyle and feel freed to do
anything they wish without being concerned with
dancing correctly. Having talented male dancers
in the audience also attracts the ladies. DJ
Dancer's deepest playlists are in this type of music.
I believe this is the essence of dance music. Ballrooms
never allow slow dances and will never play the
current top ten dance hits either. Dance clubs never
take it down a few notches and play slow dances
or any Latin dances. When you DJ at Singles Dance
you are actually playing the most popular music
available. The kind of music most people love. DJ
Dancer can take your Singles Dances to the next
level, attracting everyone that loves to dance.
Singles love a huge crowd and it won't matter if
everyone isn't available.
