Washoe County Senior Center

The City of Reno sock hop for seniors in Reno, Nevada

I DJ’d the City of Reno sock hop for Older Americans Month at the Washoe County Senior Center in Reno. Izabella Baumann from the City Manager’s Office booked me, and the guests came in poodle skirts, neck scarves and saddle shoes.

It was a two hour afternoon dance: fifties rock and roll, line dances, a conga line and a few slow songs for the couples, with the tables filling the back of the hall.

The full story, every photo and the key songs are on the event page, linked below.

Washoe County Senior Center DJ FAQ

Have you DJ’d at the Washoe County Senior Center before?

Yes. I DJ’d the City of Reno sock hop for Older Americans Month there, about 100 guests on a two hour afternoon.

What music works for a senior center dance?

Fifties and early sixties rock and roll, a few line dances like the Electric Slide and the Cha Cha Slide, and slow songs for the couples. That mix kept the floor full at the sock hop.

Do you bring backup equipment?

Always. Backup equipment is a standard part of every package I offer.
