How far in advance
should we book our event?
DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE!
A good rule of thumb is six months out. We can arrange a DJ
and sound equipment in as little as 24 hours, but the longer
the lead time the better for you. We give generous discounts
to those who book at least 9 months in advanced.

Do I need a dance lesson? That
depends on the event and the mood you want to strike. At the
beginning of a wedding reception as guests are arriving and
mingle and the wedding party are still in route is the
perfect time for a basic 30/45 minutes swing or salsa
"mixer" lesson. Our dance instructors are energetic, fun and
very successful at getting people up and mixing. This is a
popular option for wedding receptions and theme or singles
parties.
