Let's jump back in time to when we were kids, sitting in a big circle at an elementary school dance. The music was loud and everyone was singing along, bouncing up and down in time to the beat. It was a blast! For many of us, those memories still remain fresh today. So let's take a trip down memory lane and explore what made elementary school dances so special.

The Music

The music that played at elementary school dances ranged from classic hits like "YMCA" to the newest pop songs. It didn't matter which era the song was from; everyone knew all the words and danced their hearts out. We would sing along with our friends, jumping around and having fun. Even now, when we hear these songs playing on the radio or at a party, it brings us right back to those days of dancing with our friends.

The Games

In between songs, there were always some fun games like Musical Chairs or Freeze Dance. Everyone would gather around while the DJ called out instructions for how to play each game. Everyone loved joining in on these games because it gave us a chance to let loose and show off our creative moves! We also got to make new friends as we competed against one another in teams or as individuals.

The Fun Atmosphere

What really made elementary school dances special was that they were such a fun atmosphere where everyone could be themselves without worrying about judgement or criticism from anyone else. We could just forget about all our worries for a few hours and just enjoy ourselves with our friends! It was an opportunity for us to express ourselves through music and dance and let out any pent-up energy we had accumulated during the week of school. 

Elementary school dances are some of our most cherished childhood memories; they remind us of simpler times when life was carefree and full of joyous moments with friends that will live forever in our hearts. If you're feeling nostalgic for those days or want your kids to experience something similar, why not plan an old-fashioned elementary school dance? You can recreate all your favorite memories while making new ones with your family! No matter how old you are, it's always nice to take a break every now and then, turn up some good music, and have some fun—just like we did back then!  Make sure Black and White Affair is your Dj to make your  Elementary School event memorable.

 No two weddings are ever the same. Each wedding we do is costumed for the couple. When planning my latest wedding then we found out the wedding was a non dance wedding. I have never done one before but I was willing to take it on. As a dj you are trained to build a dance floor and keep on building it with the progression of playing good dance music. But then again every wedding is a custom wedding and I wanted to be a part of it.

  Typically, when you work on a wedding you have 2 to 3 hours of open dancing. But when you are not having dancing at all period you have to schedule other activities. I was in charge of finding out some fun games for the wedding. I did share some ideas with the couple and they opted to do family feud and some music trivia. So I went to find some really good family feud questions and saw some episodes to remind me how the game went and went over the rules. As for the game trivia I looked at the top hits for a certain decade and also got come classic TV show theme songs. It would bring back the good ole days.

 I was prepared for the game activities. During the actual wedding, the couple spent a lot of time in the photo booth. We ended up doing the bouquet toss. We did have a sparkler exit. There were two lines of guests with sparklers and the couple walks down. It wasn’t too dark yet but it still looked nice.
