The 518's go-to school dance & prom DJs
We are experts at proms, homecomings and any other school or campus event. With 8+ years of success, we don't just play the right music and keep energy high, we share our proven promotion knowledge to help you sell more tickets! We're proud to be a Capital Region leader for school dances.
Expert-level music knowledge
We spend hours on TikTok and Instagram and know the music that's trending and will pack your floor, most importantly, the songs your students want to hear.
Affordable
A range of packages designed to give you an unforgettable prom, homecoming, college event or school dance at a price your school can afford. Our value is unmatched.
Interactive hype DJs
We know how to get a crowd hyped, and can keep a crowd of any size jamming without ever feeling obtrusive.
DJs who are passionate about school dances
Most DJs would rather do a wedding any day over a school event. For us it's the complete opposite, we love school events, and our DJs are younger and actually fit in with your student body and know what they want to hear.

Here's a look at what our school dances look like, though videos don't do it justice! You really have to attend one to witness the energy we bring.
What advisors & students say
Nick was incredible! He had our students dancing all night long, he mixed up the songs, encouraged different dance moves, and made our kids so happy. It was clear he knows how to keep 350 high school students on that dance floor!
We used them for the Burnt Hills Ballston Lake homecoming pep rally and dance and they did not disappoint, students and staff said both events were among the best in recent memory. Professional, organized, communicative, timely and fun, with more bang for your buck than other services.
Nick was the highlight of our event. He had the kids dancing nonstop for 2+ hours and his setup and lighting really added an extra touch to our event space. Incredibly professional and so easy to work with, I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.
Thank you, Nick, for another amazing Snoball Dance. From initial contact he was professional, efficient and attentive to detail. Full service, including lights in his package. The kids had a blast and we look forward to working with him at future events!
Nick is a blast. He kept our entire grade on the dance floor for hours non-stop. Everyone was up and the music was great. From quality to professionalism, they have it all. Would definitely recommend!!
Nick is phenomenal. I don’t know how he does it, but he gets all the kids on the dance floor. They had a blast!
Right from the start of our Junior Prom, Nick was both informative and energizing, leading to the post-dinner dancing. Once dancing started, our students’ excitement only increased as the night went on. Nick does an outstanding job engaging with students while keeping them on the dance floor all night.
The messages we get after the dance
We're real DJs, not button pushers
We never let a computer mix for us. We bring club/festival-style DJing to your event, every transition is manually mixed, and we drop mind-blowing 100% live transitions like the ones you see on TikTok. We play the best, known and trending parts of songs to keep the energy high.
Crystal-clear audio for large events
Most DJs don't account for the size of school events, a wedding DJ's rig isn't remotely powerful enough. We're experts in sound design and use industry-standard gear built for crowds of 80 to 800, so your students will actually feel the bass while every word stays crystal clear.
Why choose a great DJ for your school event?
A subpar DJ can directly hurt your next dance, a bad reputation lowers ticket sales and the funds you can raise. A great DJ like NWN consistently exceeds expectations and gets your student body excited for the next event. Their friends who didn't go see the videos and want in, increasing ticket sales and letting you raise even more for years to come.
