We first met at a swing dance session held by Dabe and Janelle at Nick's Night Club in Alexandria after their weekly lessons, so we were thrilled when they agreed to come up to New York to DJ and teach a dance lesson at our wedding reception.

We met with them beforehand to discuss our music preferences as well the reception program and were then able to put everything out of our minds. In addition to the lesson and dancing, Dabe and Janelle also announced all the events and kept everything organized.

The lesson was wonderful, and the positive response from our guests was overwhelming. It was not only a great chance to pick up the basics for those who didn't know how to dance, but also a perfect way to get everyone mingling, since as the lesson went on, everyone switched their practice partners. The bride's friends met the groom's friends; college friends danced with elderly relatives; colleagues got to know neighbors, etc.

After the lesson, the music came on, and instead of staying at their tables and watching a few brave souls on the dance floor, the majority of the guests were up dancing away.

Our friends and family are still telling us how much fun they had.

We enjoyed working with Dabe and Janelle very much! When we met to go over the music selections, they were very organized and helped us to think through all of the scheduling and timing issues. We also had a lot of control over what music was to be played and, in some cases, NOT to be played! During the reception, Dabe and Janelle were friendly and entertaining, without being “over the top.” They keep things moving along and helped keep us on schedule. We especially enjoyed the “survival swing lesson” that they taught. Not only was it fun for us, but it was also a great ice-breaker for our guests! We love the pictures of friends and family members all dancing with different partners. The reception was a big success largely due to Dabe and Janelle. We were having so much fun, that we weren’t ready to leave when it was time for our big departure! We would definitely recommend Dabe and Janelle to anyone hosting an event!

Katie and I really had a wonderful wedding, and you and Dabe were a big part of that! So of course you can use us on your website. We would highly recommend you to other couples for their weddings, or to other groups that may need a DJ. The music was really good! You did a great job playing our "request list" and the dance floor was full all night. It was quite a party! You were also flexible with your time and worked with our schedule.
