A LITTLE ABOUT THE DJMark (DJ Mar-K) has been involved in the entertainment industry for over 25
years. As early
as 1972 when he would attend school dances, he always
wanted to be the one "on stage".
The Square Dance
Days
After several unsuccessful attempts to start a band from scratch, he was
introduced to Modern Western Style
Square Dancing and in 1979, he saw the
opportunity to be the entertainer, the one "on stage" as a Square Dance
Caller.
As a Caller for various Square Dance Clubs in the area he found that this was a
very productive time as
he grew used to what it takes to be "on stage" in front of
others. In 1996, Mark transitioned his Calling
from Square Dance Clubs to
Private Parties, school socials, church groups, and more... and specialized in
the Introductory
Party type square dance events for the non Square Dancer. At
this time many organizations wanted to also have regular
open dancing after the
Square Dance segment of their event. The idea of DJing events was officially
born.
Introducing
DJ Mar-K
Over time this eventually led to various additional gigs, as playing background
music at different events
and as an occasional DJ now and then. Also included
in all this were many dance events that Mark himself organized.
He also helped
as part of the primary organization team of many other dance events from small
dances to dance weekends,
and dance festivals. In 2006, Mark decided to put
all his vast experiences together and make it official, and go all
out with a quality
service called Rock'N DeeJay Productions.
The "Dance" Years
In 1992,
Mark got involved with structured social dancing during the big rise in
Country Western Line & Couples dancing.
From 1992 to 1994 line dancing
was his thing but in 1994 couples dancing seemed to be more popular then
ever and
he started taking lessons. Having taken lessons in couples dancing
from the many Country Western establishments at the
time, and followed by
private lessons, Mark has acquired a very good understanding of social
dancing and the music
behind the various dance styles.
In Summary
In addition to Square Dancing Mark teaches Introductory Couples dancing
for
those groups that wish to include this during their events
