DJ Aaron Harris is a unique guy because he has a background in entertainment, customer service, operations, and workforce development. He is relatable to students, and he understands the importance of creating safe spaces for young people to have fun.
When a hit song comes on and everyone reacts the same way it gives each student a sense of belonging.
When a student takes a chance by asking the DJ to play anon-popular song and then multiple other students are vibing to that song with them — that creates a sense of belonging.
There's always a popular group in a school, but that doesn't mean that they get to dominate the dance floor. In Oregon there are many students who are members of minority ethnic groups. These underrepresented groups want to dance to their musical taste just as much as the other student. mynewdj's policy is that anyone and everyone can request songs.
Let's face it, hormones are running high during a school dance and sometimes students do silly things. Unexpected issues can happen during a dance. Those issues may be a fire alarm, building power failure, or a student feeling unsafe in the crowded space. The DJ has to pay attention to what is happening on the dance floor at all times. It is necessary to act quickly and mitigate the issues. DJ Aaron Harris is skilled at being mindful and present while keeping the party atmosphere going.
Music and dancing can be a highly important cultural and social experience, especially when it comes to school dances. Students look forward to these kinds of gathering events because it is their opportunity to freely express themselves to each other. It can be exciting and a little bit scary because they are trying to fit in and be accepted. The students expect to have a good time be safe from harm. The DJ facilitates that entire experience using music, lighting, charisma, and situational awareness.
