About: Ric Hansen, a 25 year veteran of the radio airwaves. He got his kicks as an on-air guy and program manager by staging unique high energy promotions. Bringing the radio station to live events to entertain a live audience inspired Ric to launch “Radio Parties” a nationally recognized promotional mobile DJ company that promotes it’s radio station clients. Since their start in 1992, they have done literally thousands of school dance events in cities all over the country. Radio Parties’ love affair with school dance events has given birth to the only national on-line tool for assisting school administrators to sort through and deal with the challenges of inappropriate music and dancing at schools. The unique site: www.SchoolDanceNetwork.com includes multiple tools for schools as well as DJs. The National “Do Not Play List” is the most popular feature on the site as well as the list of Safe Songs for schools. As members, DJ’s can use the resources of the site but more importantly they can make their best marketing connection with schools by identifying themselves as being aware of, familiar with and sensitive to the need for schools to stage clean dance events. By securing a listing as a “Responsible DJ” in the School Dance Network directory, schools can contact member DJs directly. In addition DJs can use the “Responsible DJ” certification emblem to promote their affiliation on their website and on printed materials sent to the schools.See Authors Posts (51) · October 4, 2011

I just got a note from John Davies in Wisconsin,  a School Dance Network responsible DJ Member…He said:

“I thought I should tell you about a successful high school Homecoming dance I worked last Saturday night in Hartford, Wisconsin.  Nearly 1000 students turned out for the dance on campus.  Boys in shirts and ties, girls in party dresses all well behaved and having fun!  The school wants us back as the feed back was great from the students and staff.  We played fun songs, set an atmosphere of fun and not a freak night club vibe. This choice of music pays off !  Thanks for the lists!”

If you do school dances and are not a “Responsible DJ Member”  you can join at the School Dance Network web site and definitely follow my tweets for on-going updated info.

Here’s an up to date list for school gigs. I’m going to keep this list posted on my blog. It’s a good idea to follow these lists for successful school parties…with no complaints!

This way everybody will have a good time. Be sure to listen to the songs before you play them! A surprise or two can always slip up.
