  • Advice on how to be a good disk jockey

    Advice on how to be a good disc jockey
    What differentiates a good dj from a terrible quality one?
    One example of the characteristics of useless disc jockeys is them not viewing the party guest reaction to the audio being output. Another thing for the entertainer to avoid is too frequent playing of audio they either like or a frequent set over the clubbers' musical taste which is often combined with failing play of requested music. Additionly though a entertainer can also be a bad one simply due to the collection of music they possess. This can cause the other examples of bad dj behaviour. A terribledj often cause a disco to be ruined. This will cuase the guests will dance less. If the event is a domestic one then the guests will stay a bit to be polite to the host but will eventually leave by up to two hours earlier than they would have done with a more experienced entertainer. This will contibute to the party being remembered as a failure and the entertainment too. The entertainer will seldom get a good reference or any spin off gigs as a result. If the event within a commercial context the club would also have detrimental impact on its reputation. In addition the terrible entertainer means that within the commercial situation less amounts of drink will have been purchased. A dancing patron will purchase more from the bar whilst at the venue and remain there longer to buy further alcohol. Only about a week ago I witnessed a situation where in a venue a couple were purchasing alcoholcocktails and made a request for a variety of records which the dj made excuses for not playing despite the fact the small crowd there were not paying much interest in the music anyway, which resulted in the couple leaving dissatisified, whom had they remained there would probably have purchased further .A awful will impact a venue money for that night in the form of takings for the party possible future ones due to reduced reputation and potentially new promotion to improve reputation. The entertainer may well lose further employement as a result. Tips of what the entertainer is recommended to do to be successful. They should to find out the type of records that their audience prefer hear.There is many strategies for acquiring this information. entertainer should ask the party organiser or venue owner their guests' taste in vinyl at least a week in advance of the night they are to be playing. If the scenario is a commercial one in a night club then it would be sensible that the entertainer visit the venue on a number of different nights of the week and it is essential to go there at least the day of the week that your debut is to be performed. On arrival as this is business related it is not recommended to be drinking heavily or being over familiar with others their. This is because the visit is for fact finding of the regulars for that day of the week. It is time to focus on senses keen in order to establish the tastes of those you wil likely to be disk jockeying to. The eyes should be watching movement of the clubbers to the music. Even when no one is dancing there are available other signals of people's musical preferences. For example foot movements, hand and head movements to the songs. The more gestures the more the clubbers are enjoying the tracks. It is useful to either make a mental note the reaction to certain music. If your memory is not so good this information could be written down in a note pad but it would be sensible to store such information in a mobile phone as its more subtle. Also it is important to establish who are the "trend setters" or those that the rest tend to join on the dance floor most, and what their favourite artists and music are. The reason for this is that once the goal of getting them dancing has been reached the others will follow. For a private party this opertunity does not exist so you can only rely on asking the questions two weeks in advance face to face, by email, letter or on the telephone. Once the musical tastes it is time to acquire as much of that type of music. As well as this though the current top 40 chart records should be included also. It will be bad for your reputation if someone requests something from the recent top 40 and you do not have it with you when performing on your night. Also it is reccommended to have some general party music too such as "The Time Warp", "Cha Cha Slide", "Amarillo" and some other general music that has been popular at some point. On the night of the party there is the opertunity to view the party goers reaction to the songs played also. In fact if the party is private and not in a commercial bar (context then this is the sole opertunity. On the date of the gig you should also look out for the "trend setters" that the rest follow. It is suggested that the music played is that they prefer, although of course requests are critical too, and if it is a private party the host's favourites must come first. The flow of the party is important too. In general the loudness, and style of music for different stages of the evening. The early part of the evening will usually be the regular's conversation time so it is sugegsted that the records are not too loud and are the gentler ones within the styles enjoyed by the revellers. I have seen a pub clear because loud,heavy fast records were performed too soon in the evening. An hour and a half later the environment will change as more people have had a few drinks and plenty of conversation so will begin to want to get on the floor, from then onwards the songs can get a harder and higher in bpm. Generally it can be said that the party vibe needs to be progressively wound up. This recognised flow of events can be different though if the party has a meal involved. In that context the party may need to be wound down with quieter and gentler songs again as people generally socialise again whilst eating. For birthday and wedding partys the winding down and up of the party may additionally be essential to fit round announcements. One very useful piece of advice though is if the dance floor has been killed for any reason which could be due to a speech, meal, shocking incident such as a fight or even a poor track being played, the situation can be saved with the use of a familiar party track such as "cha Cha Slide" or a cheesy popular Bee Gees disco track.

  • Fantastic dancing routine to the ‘Stronger’

    Fantastic dancing routine to the ‘Stronger’ at http://www.humantank1.me.uk/Dance2
    First Learn Dance secret is: You must do all the training you can to be the best dancer you can be, experience of dance is useful, you can better visualize the image you are going to create.
    On to their latest Video web page on the website of Dancing, videos & stuff, they have a short video of ‘Bognor RDM 16’. The two dancers in the video pop & lock very well to the beat and rhythm of ‘Stronger’.
    They have other videos of earlier dances are there too, so you can see progress as they dance through a half year period if you follow from RDM 1 to RDM 16.
    I have it on good authority that Popping is a popular continuous rhythmic dance, and Popping came from Locking which came from Robotics. An article quote, some one saw several people doing a robot dance or robotics in a nightclub and it was good & they nearly joined in. Which was a pity but they came to a conclusion that the people were good at Robotics and made it fashionable to do if done properly, and they would have fitted in with these Robot dancers.
    Some styles used in the video is Locking, Popping, Rocking and a few other styles I spotted during the dance video routine. And there is Boogaloo, which is a style that helps a dancer going from waves to locking and popping Electro Boogaloo apparently.
    Locking is held for as long a pause as is possible, about half a beat or so, especially if you are doing Poplocking.
    Articles on its website such as one that states popping is a quick flex or constriction of the muscles and then an instant relaxing almost immediately on the beat rather than locking.
    With their own style of footwork they call cap rock, it certainly looks good and it gets a crowd reaction when they dance.
    It also has quite a collection of articles about dancing in the 80’s and again in the 90’s which if I am right was when street dancing was popular to Electro music of that time.
    At the end of the year 2008 with 6 months of dancing behind them they have finally created a dance video that crowns the moment, which is a moment to be proud of in my opinion.

  • Whats UK Security like?

    Welcoming introduction to the world of security.

    The world of security covers many areas, from doormen to guards, from night watchmen to close protective agents, etc. Having worked many years in shop retail security and then as a door supervisor, I find that the lack of info for new people wishing to look into security as a pursuit, to be some what hard to find. My purpose is to put together this site, based on my own or fellow security friends experience, so that any one wanting to find infoon security will find this website an invaluable resource of information. Just because I passed the course I am always up for experiencing more, and work with the best team I could find, and luckily for me the last year 2007 and this year 2008 has been a marvellous one for me. I have been given advice that has revolutonised my own awareness, and quite often I find these tips come into mind when I find myself in a situation and having to deal with it. I shall try to cover as many areas of security as possible, and where unable to I will find a resource and point to it, be it a website or document. From time to time I train or debate with other members of our security team, and I hope that for years to come I will be broadening my own knowledge. And at times I get to help out the younger members, and am in a good position to watch them grow, there is much to be said about being a member of a great security team. With that I hope you find knowledge or a link to something that helps out, maybe you are a new applicant or someone looking for a service, this web site is more for south of the UK but should be helpful information wise to anyone in the UK as a reference.

  • Dancing in Bognor Regis, UK

    Bognor RDM poplocking streetdancers video blog.

    We aim to create about ten minutes of video a month in the form of several mini video clips, currently we are mainly using Poplocking in several styles. We adapted old style locking action, popping, waving, miming, rocking, and fancy footwork. June and July, the first months of my return to street dancing and Bens first couple of months appear to be going well today – Wednesday the 30th July 2008.

    Our Primary Dance Objective. Bognor RDM Dancing Evolution Objective or DEO. The basis of our progress report will be the scoring of the following points on a monthly basis; Aim of weekly videos with a point of advance based on the following criteria point; A point for at least one new style of dance, an adaption, something new to our form and style of act. Me and Ben to create a 30 second clip of non stop dancing video, solo or duo. This also applies to guests on videos, using our routines. As a Duo to create at least 30 seconds of non stop dancing upon a theme or style. Use of a third or fourth person also collects a bonus point. We will be adding an interview or current progress report every so often as part of a video or summary, IE. Bognor RDM 1-x summary of progress. Any other way that may help mark our progress or be of interest, will be used to create and be displayed, most probably on you tube and our website. Dancing is like evolving, learning to grow into something different. Sharing a happy experience with the crowd, friends, family strngers and dancing buddies is part of the buzz when we hit the floor but it’s the achievement of creating something that is the main driving force. Motivated by the music, friends and achievement in dance training helps us put on a display, time to put to the test our expertise. We practise what drives us and keep developing our own style whilst learning to do some together, we dance together and also do our own solo style, be it traditional or freestyle. Eventually, we should be able to perform a dance together and eventually a personal work piece each, of at least 30 seconds which should total 90 seconds at the very least.

    In Bognor RDM 4 we reached that level just that, in fact Bognor RDM 5 is ready to go, to be uploaded to you tube this coming Sunday. It is now 30th July 2008, a Wednesday afternoon
