First, you will need about 20 songs an hour. For a 4 hour party that is 80 songs, maybe 100 to be on the safe side or to have a few extra in case the party goes a little long. It's not a lot of songs and usually people have the problem of what to cut out as opposed to finding enough songs.

Read More »This is a question I get a lot and usually people are pretty nervous when they ask this. The second question most asked is... "How many slow and fast songs?" Both are pretty simple to answer. And both answers usually put people at ease. First, you will need about 20 songs an hour. For a 4 hour party that is 80 songs, maybe 100 to be on the safe side or to have a few extra in case the party goes a little long. It's not a lot of songs and usually people have the problem of what to cut out as opposed to finding enough songs. How many slow and fast songs? This one is a little harder to answer because it depends a little on the crowd and their willingness to slow dance. Generally speaking, slow dances are not very popular except at weddings. And then the slow dance is most popular for the first dance and the dance with the parents etc. but after that people want to boogie. I generally tell brides and grooms that they should plan 1-2 slow songs an hour. 10 slow songs max unless the dance portion of the reception is longer than 6 hours. And generally one slow song at a time is best. Unless you have two short ones, and when I say short I mean less than 2:30 each. But generally one 3-4 minute long song is just enough time to get a drink, catch your breath and then get ready to hit the dance floor again. Positioning? Well, seasoned DJ's will tell you they can read the crowd and they know when to play a slow song. I have been a DJ for over 20 years and I still can't tell. And I have seen these seasoned DJ's play a slow song and no one dances. I do know this, if you play over 30 minutes of fast songs it is pretty safe to then throw in a slow song. Aerobics classes usually don't last longer than 30 minutes and when you add uncomfortable shoes to the mix it makes it even tougher. Most of this is advice for wedding receptions and for all other parties; you will need to know your audience a little. Are there a lot of couples? Is the crowd mostly young or old? Those types of things will determine how many slow and fast songs you play. Generally, if it is a good song people will dance no matter if it is slow or fast. If it’s your party or your wedding reception, as long as you are dancing and having a good time everyone else will too. Hopefully your guests came to the party because they wanted to see you.
