    Crossfingers Newbie Music Question!! Do I choose or do they?

    Okay - I know some people out there have been trying to find great songs and there are multiple posts on great songs to dance to...

    I am wondering - do you just tell the DJ what you want? Do you bring in a CD for them to use? I have a couple of songs I really like and would love to dance to but a couple of the songs - while rockin - are not main stream.
    Also - if it is OK to bring in a CD...what about if you go for amateur night, do you just dance to whatever they play there?? I would imagine if a bunch of girls show up for amateur night with CD's you never know what you're going to get and it could be really tough to keep track of...

    Just wondering what the typical scenario is.

    Thanks!!

    It really depends on the club, but for the most part, you have the option of picking your own music (whether by asking for a specific artist/song or bringing your own CD) or letting the DJ pick your music (and you can generally have input for genre or throw out some ideas). So it really depends on you. Some girls are super picky about their music, some just want a certain genre, and some really don't give a fuck what they dance to and leave it up to the DJ. Rest assured that DJs have a system for keeping track of CDs (most often consisting of a post-it note with the dancer's name on it) and it isn't that confusing to pop it in when that girl needs to go on stage. Feel free to bring your own CD for amateur night, but don't feel obligated to either. Clear the songs with the DJ first to make sure they're club appropriate (some clubs have specific rules - mine doesn't allow rap or hip hop, for example).

    Thanks so much for your response I'm definitely going to make a CD then. I just didn't want to overstep any boundaries asking them to play something they don't know.
    That I could bring my own music was exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'm hoping that my first time on stage having something familiar that I've practiced to will help ease my nerves a bit.

    Just make sure to check your CD on an average sound system. I've had trouble with CDs I've made not working, only playing the first song, or not allowing the option to skip to different songs - I'm on a Mac and burned with iTunes though and the DJs I've worked with use Windows, so that could be it.

    Just talk to the DJ. Like Shanna said, most of the DJs use laptops instead of CDs nowadays.

    I didn't end up bringing a cd after all. I had burned one with itunes and I've had problems after burning with that program too, strange. I just made suggestions until the DJ had a song I knew well...that worked just fine for me. Thanks for your help

    Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with iTunes burned CDs but it seems pretty common. You can try bringing them on a USB stick though, but I've had issues where only the first song plays since I pull them off of iTunes too.
