A School-Approved Entertainment Plan

Four Things That Make a Dance Work

Great school events combine a lively atmosphere with clear expectations. We coordinate these important details with the school contact before the first song.

Student-Appropriate

Music That Fits Your School

Share preferred genres, music restrictions and clean-edit expectations. Student requests are considered only within the content guidelines approved by your school.

Event Scheduling

Timely Program Transitions

We discuss arrival, start time, announcements and the final song in advance. This gives staff a clear plan for coordinating the evening and supervising students.

Room and Sound

A Setup Suited to the Space

Sound requirements depend on the gym, hall or event room. We review the venue layout, access and power arrangements before confirming the entertainment package.

Staff Coordination

One Clear School Contact

A designated organizer can communicate schedule changes, requests and announcements. This helps the DJ follow school rules while keeping the event on track.

Before the First Song

Planning Details We Confirm Together

What does a school dance DJ cost?

The starting price is $350 CAD for three hours. Additional DJ time is $75 per hour, billed in $37.50 increments per 30 minutes, subject to availability. Travel and upgrades may affect the final total.

Can you follow school music policies?

Yes. Provide your school's content rules, preferred music and do-not-play guidelines. All student requests remain subject to those rules and DJ discretion.

Can students request their own songs?

Yes, where permitted by the organizer. The DJ reviews requests for appropriate lyrics, availability and suitability for the age group before playing them.

Plan for at least 60 minutes of venue access before the entertainment begins. Larger productions or unusual access arrangements may require additional setup time.
