I happened to be at a wedding this past weekend, and I couldn&#8217;t help breaking down what the DJ was doing right and wrong. It&#8217;s just something we do as DJs when we&#8217;re listening to other DJs, right?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there were a few times when the DJ cleared the dance floor. I couldn&#8217;t figure out why he&#8217;d play something that was really hard to dance to.<\/p>\n<p>Weddings are in a class of their own.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, they&#8217;re really easy. Everyone is there to have a great time. People will dance like they just don&#8217;t care because they&#8217;re surrounded by friends and family. So, getting everyone onto the dance floor should be really easy. On the other hand, you&#8217;re faced with a roomful of people from different generations, different energy levels, and different tastes in music.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, as the DJ, you&#8217;ve met with the bride and groom and worked out the kind of music that will work best for their crowd. Beyond that, there are two things you can do.<\/p>\n<p>First, rely on your own experience reading the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Second, brush up your skills by reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingwire.com\/wedding-ideas\/secrets-to-get-everybody-on-the-dance-floor\">this article<\/a> and these:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/what-does-a-wedding-dj-actually-do\/\">What Does A Wedding DJ Actually Do?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/how-to-be-the-best-wedding-dj\/\">How To Be The Best Wedding DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/how-to-dj-a-wedding-2\/\">How To DJ A Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">So, this story is very relevant to me.
