Once you're at the dance, for the most part, you need to be ready to go. Don't plan on making it up as you go along, (until you're confident enough to not follow the rules, just like dancing).
First, check your surroundsings:
- show up early!
- Check your equipment. Did you bring everything you thought you brought? Does it still work? (Don't laugh. Many a DJ has left home with a functioning laptop and arrived at a dance with a dead one.)
- Is there a sound system? (If not, hopefully you or someone else brought one.)
