SCHOOL
DANCES

elementary schools
KIDS LOVE TO DANCE! - Whether they are in kindergarten or fifth grade, elementary school students LOVE Magical Music Machine parties. It's because we keep things busy and active - interactive games & activities, current music, teaching new (and old) line dances, Star 94 prizes, and the incredible light show - just like the middle schools and high schools.
            We keep the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's music alive, with classics like the Twist and Locomotion, while adding current dances (Electric Slide) and the newest hits.
            We keep a clean, family party atmosphere, and get the adults & teachers involved in many of the games and activities.
            BONUS - elementary schools receive SPECIAL discount pricing by having their dances on weekdays, or after school.

MIDDLE SCHOOLS
THE AWKWARD SOCIAL YEARS! - If you are the parent of a middle school student, or teach at a middle school, you KNOW what we're taking about. From fashions to dancing, everything is awkward, but the Magical Music Machine takes extra effort to avoid social dysfunction, and get the kids ready for high school and college socializing.
            * Treat the students like high schoolers with regard to music - songs that encourage dancing and group dancing (line dances like the Cha-Cha slide). Mix in enough slow songs to allow the students to experience the slow dances.
            * Gotta start somewhere, right?
            * An incredible Light Show, creating a party atmosphere which keeps the focus on the dance floor.
            * Working with teachers and chaperones. Kids act differently in large groups than individually, so we encourage group activities and a controlled environment to avoid boredom and potential trouble-making. Since we are also parents, we don't hesitate to stop the music to put an end to slam-dancing, moshing, or indecent dancing. Some lessons aren't taught in the classrooms, and social skills need guidance, too.
            * Bring lots of Star 94 goodies for giveaway, and earn the respect of the students. Controlling the crowd is much easier when you have credibility with the kids.
            * Avoiding inappropriate or obscene music. Despite the popularity of certain rap and rock music lyrics with four-letter words and obscene messages, we avoid this music (even the "clean" radio versions), and encourage more hip-hop and techno/dance music.  This policy has cost us the dances at several middle schools because of complaints from the kids ("they won't play the 'cool' music"), but parents and teachers understand our intentions and we are steadfast in our policy.

HIGH SCHOOLS
EXCELLENT PROMS AND THEME DANCES - The "Magical Intelligent Light Show" is the finest mobile light show in north Georgia, and the kids LOVE the high-tech inverse mirrored ball, laser effects and haze machine - looks like an adult night-club atmosphere.

            The challenge of any high school dance is choosing the music. We work with the teachers and adult sponsors to play appropriate music for the occasion. Playing the best of the current rap and hip-hop while avoiding obscene or questionable lyrics. Oldies, country, techno and swing can be mixed in, depending on the school location and the theme of the dance.
            Special Options for High Schools and Colleges - BIG-SCREEN DVD V.J. with LIVE on-floor mobile camera at the dance. (This option will be available for the 2002-2003 school year)

colleges
NO "KEGGERS," JUST GREAT PARTIES - College organizations such as bands, sororities, faculties, alumni and sports group have used the Magical Music Machine when they need entertainment ABOVE the normal "human jukebox" deejay.
            We've developed special themes for college groups, from luaus and hoedowns to disco revivals and 80s retro parties. Dano & Conni always dress for the theme (Dano's leisure suits occupy a special place in a deep dark corner of his closet), and decorate the sound & light systems appropriately.
            And the "Magical Intelligent Light Show" is the same quality light show college students might experience at clubs and night spots.
            Special Options for High Schools and Colleges - BIG-SCREEN DVD VJ (Video DJ) with LIVE on-floor mobile camera at the dance. (This option will be available for the 2002-2003 school year)
