DJ Equipment for parties and festivals

If you are a DJ that has lots of bookings for events and parties this year then you need to make sure you have a quality supplier of DJ Equipment that you know and trust.

Most DJ’s get their followings for the style and music they play so it’s imperative to have a wide and varied collection of records to cover the style of parties and events you will be covering to make sure people have a great time and book you again.

DJ’s become popular from people telling their friends, family and acquaintances about the great night they had at the party and this is how you can secure your next bookings.

During the summer DJ’s can get the best gigs by playing at festivals and other outdoor events. To make sure you rock the crowds get your playlist and DJ Equipment up to date before you arrive. It really can make or break your set.

Foxtrot

I love Youtube because you can see and listen there your favorit music and check for new ones, you can also can learn a lot including different dances. Here is video of Foxtrot steps following which you can learn to dance this amazing dance!



According to wiki Foxtrot took its name from its inventor, the vaudeville actor Harry Fox; however the exact origins are unclear.[1] The dance was premiered in 1914quickly catching the eye of the talented husband and wife duo Vernon and Irene Castle, who lent the dance its signature grace and style.

W.C. Handy ("Father of the Blues") notes in his autobiography that Noble Sissle told a story that Handy's Memphis Blues was the inspiration for the Foxtrot. Jim Europe, the Castles' music director, would play slowly the Memphis Blues during breaks from the fast paced Castle Walk and One-step. The Castles were intrigued by the rhythm and Jim asked why they didn't create a slow dance to go with it. The Castles introduced the "Bunny Hug" in a magazine article. They went abroad and in mid-ocean sent a wireless to the magazine to change the "Bunny Hug" to the "Foxtrot."[2]

It was later standardized by Arthur Murray, in whose version it began to imitate the positions of Tango.
