Best songs to play at a Homecoming dance?

I am DJing my high schools dance this year. It is a 3 hour dance. I wants songs that the majority of the dance floor will like. I want people to stay on the dance floor. I'm new to DJing. Any recommendations please?

I don't know why everyone refuses to use tampons. They're so much better, since you're not sitting in a pool of your own blood. However, if you have a medical issue that makes tampon use impossible, I would suggest getting a thin pad that's not super long and changing often, or use a pantiliner if your period is light enough. People probably aren't paying that much attention to your butt anyway, and they will understand even if they somehow manage to figure out the fact that you're wearing a pad.

Most people have no idea what it takes to become a professional dancer. It is hard for anyone to do. Even most of those who start training as small children taking multiple dance classes daily still wont reach the professional ranks. In order to become a professional dancer you first need to be born with the body, facility and musicality that a dance career requires. No amount of training, no matter how good can change those things. You have to be born like that and that includes having the right bone and muscle structure. Next you need to train in a professional not recreational dance school that will screen you for having all of that or they wont train you. Recreational dance teachers don't have the right training to pass on to you for a dance career.You also need to start at a young enough age and you need your parents support. Anything less than 15 hours a week of technique classes year round is considered recreational training even in a professional level school. It takes 10 years to "make a leg" in dance and only 10% of the best trained dancers get work and only 10% of them can make a living at it.

Lots of people have a passion for dance as well as the other arts like music and painting. You need more than just the passion although that certainly is an important ingredient. If you don't have the right body, which is your instrument, if you don't have the facility or the musicality required along with the right training, and if you are 14 or older and a female, then this is just not going to happen for you starting at this age. Especially without your parents support even if younger, you will be out of luck. Dance classes aren't cheap unless you are on scholarship. There are dancers trained at the School of American Ballet and at Juilliard scrambling for work. There are not a lot of jobs in dance and there are many well trained dancers born with all the required gifts to fill them.

If it turns out that you cannot have a dance career, keep in mind that dancers don't get paid well and their careers are over in a flash. Then they need to find a second career for the remainder which is the bulk of their lives. Dance for the Joy of Dance and dance can always be a part of your life.

Look some up online. I assume you won't be making one yourself, but use a light or pastel colour and something with a skirt. You can get some stuff from stores like discountdance, etc.

If your daughter has pointe work as an eventual goal, she should start back with a beginner ballet class and try to do three classes a week. Perhaps start with two classes a week and then work up to three or possibly more. (A standard length ballet class is 90 minutes but often beginners only do hour length classes to start.)
In order to be ready for pointe you need strong feet, ankles, legs and core along with balance and the ability to engage and hold turnout without sickling all the while in proper alignment. What is most important is strong ballet technique and there are no shortcuts for that. In a good recreational school it takes about three consecutive years of taking three 90 minute ballet classes a week to be ready for pointe. Serious pre-professional dancers need way more classes per week as they are held to a higher standard before they are allowed en pointe. That is not to say that there aren't some poor ballet teachers out there who rush students en pointe before they are ready putting them at a greater risk for injury. Not to mention pointe work hurts more if not ready and strong enough to pull up out of your shoes. Dancers up too soon also cannot dance well en pointe but just sort of hobble about. If a teacher puts you up in a short amount of time it is not because you are a quick learner, work harder or have more natural ability. It just means you have a poor teacher. Unfortunately anyone can call themselves a ballet teacher with little or poor training.
