Instructional DVD

[Mayhem 1]

Greetings All,

I have mentioned this else where but I thought I would mention it on this forum.

As a few of you know I specialise in Childrens Parties therefore I am
"The Master of The Party Dance"

I have noticed that there are a lot of members who do not know the routines to various songs so I have made a desission to help!!!

Early next year I will be producing a dvd to detail all the actions to all of the most popular party dances.

These will include all of Rik + Nik's routines.

Here is the million dollar question, If I did go ahead with this progect, would anyone be interested?

regards

Sounds good to me Gary - and I'm sure you could easily sell it through ebay (even though it sadly might get ripped off in time) - I've not seen anything like this and can admit I'd definately order a copy as I often feel a right t!t not knowing the dances that the kids do.

Could you include other things - Saturday Night, etc - as I've always been caught out by that one?

Leigh....

[Mayhem 1]

Hiya Mate,

Yes Saturday night will be on there as standard

[SonRise]

Excellent idea!! I too would be interested.

Will save me having to drag my 13yr old daughter along!!

Regards.

[Mayhem 1]

Nice one mate

[Dragonfly]

id love it mayhem mate if i didnt use it for work it would keep my kids amused for ages while im chatting on forums .......erm ....... working on the computer its a great idea but it may shatter the picture i have in my head of what you look like at one of your gigs lol

[Shaun]

I'd purchase a copy too. Sounds like a winner of an idea!

[Corabar Entertainment]

This is something I've actually actively been looking for for ages!

One of the Kids Party CDs did have an accompanying DVD with it which was supposed to be showing all the dance routines.... but what was on there was useless!

EDIT: Just to mention though..... you'll have to go through all the hassle of getting permission to use the tracks on the DVD!

couldnt do them then ange lololol

[Corabar Entertainment]

No, I mean that it wasn't all the songs you would expect

(Cheeky ******! :p )

[Mayhem 1]

It would be mostly the Rik + Nik routines, and for this I already have full permission.

Mayhem 1

Ps, I could sell it alongside The "Super Five" disc I have got mow with the 5 most requested Rik + Nik Tunes:-

Mexican Wave
Old King Kool
Voodoo Man
Best Dance of all Time
Party Kick Mega Mix

[Corabar Entertainment]

Sorry - this may be a stupid question, but who are 'Rik & Nik' and what do they do????

[Mayhem 1]

Rik % Nik are the two guys resposible for 99% of the party dances used on holiday centres (Haven, pontins etc etc)

regards

Mayhem 1

[BeerFunk]

Never heard of them either.. :confused:

They didn't make up the dances for Saturday Night, The Macerena etc, did they?

[Mayhem 1]

No mate they did not!!!!!! lol

[DMX Will]

Sounds good to me, I'd be interested

[Mayhem 1]

Ok then folks, I will post when it is finished (should be end of Jan - Begining of Feb)

Many thanks

Mayhem 1

[Discodaz]

Put me down for one. Great idea.

Will you be doing some of the older tunes such as the Monster Mash?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Sounds like a great idea to me too.

I'll have one too (free of course for evaluation purposes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[Mayhem 1]

Oh will you now !!!!! lol

[reemicks disco]

We would like one also mr Mayhem please, and before anyone says anything, i can still dance just need one hand on the zimmer frame thats all.:D

[Corabar Entertainment]

[Jiggles]

Me as well :D please Mr Mayhem

[Mayhem 1]

Hiya Mate,

It could be added

Regards

Mayhem 1

[Tonsk]

Do you know which tracks you will show?

I only ask as I already have the Rik and Nik video showing their dances (except the Big Fish Little Fish song as it was too new!?!).

I know the dances to a number of songs (Caraticus, Macarena (including both teenage versions) etc etc), so would be interested to see which ones you are talking about including to see if it is useful.

If it contains alot I don't know then I would definately get it...

[Mayhem 1]

The track list will be finalised very soon chaps.

I will post it here as soon as I know

regards

Mayhem 1

[Corabar Entertainment]

Looking forward to seeing it! :D

[Spirits High]

Put me down for one!

[magicfm]

Will the Birdie Song be on it?????

:D :D :D

[Mayhem 1]

Absolutly Not Magic Man lol lol

[Tonsk]

I do a funny dance to the birdie song at all kids parties from 4-6 (sometimes even 7). Kids love it and so do the parents when they are actually doing it...

Works really well...

[KrazyKaz]

put me down for a dvd too please

[nuttyboy]

A truly excellent idea. You can put me down one too.

I am involved in the professional mastering of DVDs (take a look at my site), so if you need any help with the project, don't be afraid to ask.

[symo]

Will this include Cha Cha slide as well?

[Shaun]

Any updates on this yet, Mayhem? :)

[Mayhem 1]

Hiya Shaun,

There will be further details after the Easter start to my season at Brean Leisure.

I have had a few probs with the production company but it has now been sorted and filming will start quite soon.

Hi Rik,

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to introduce yoursef in the 'newbies' forum section.

I read elsewhere that Mayhem's DVD idea has been binned due to copyright and licensing. Pity, as I thought it was a great idea. I'm sure 'Mayhem' will provide you with further details when he reads this topic.

[Vectis]

I've had some success at younger kids parties (say 6-10 years) with the videos on the "Wow! Let's Dance" series of DVDs that Amazon sell, like this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FWow-Lets-Dance-Vol-7%2Fdp%2FB00006IIZU%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Ddvd%26qid%3D 1191949767%26sr%3D8-11&tag=pumbieworld-21&linkCode=ur2&camp=1634&creative=6738).

The songs are not originals but in most cases they're close enough for the age group.

I originally tried just #1 and used 'Saturday Night', 'YMCA' and 'Witchdoctor' but now I've ordered a few more in the series to get some of the other songs on there. Have to say most of the newer ones are a bit lacking in useful content.

Basically what you get is a bunch of professional dancers on a stage doing the moves to the entire song, end-to-end. Perfect.

[Mayhem 1]

Greetings,

The DVD has now been shelved due to licencing and copyright.

It is a shame but the law is the law and I do not infringe copyrite laws its just not fair to the owners.

Therefore, all I can say is if you have a Children's party I could always come and do the routines live!!!

Regards

Mayhem 1

[Charlie Brown]

I would be interested :D

[Candybeatdiscos]

i seriuously thought about this last year, wanted to get a local dance group to dance the steps etc and record them (wearing t-shirts advertising the disco) and paying them a fee (helps thier funds) the idea would then be to play the dvd via tv's when i played these songs so guests could always follow the on screen instructions

[Tom]

You after a job? :p

Got any going??? :p :D

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Got any going??? :p :D

[Richard Veal]

Couldn't you do a silent version on say you tube just for the lads? (& lasses)
ie name of song as title then a vid of you doing the funky chicken or whatever, or is it the dance that is copyright rather than just the music.

:Hi there:

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Great idea Garry... sadly there's so much legal cr*p in the way of this.
Your idea does sound like the Wow lets dance series but I've never seen Rik'n'Nik on them.

Really need to get learning some of the Rik'n'Nik routine's:)

Update us if there anymore progress on this.

[karl james]

Please Please Please do this, even if you sell it on the Q.T.
Ive been practicing the Black Lace moves on you tube for ages.

Just stick a DVD with it all on would be worth at least £50 of any Kids DJ earnings.

Nice one

Think you need to learn about the ethics of people using this forum and our strive to improve peoples perception of mobile discos.

As mentioned due to current laws Mayhem is unable to produce this DVD.

Shame, as you say would be worth its weight in gold IMO

[StarZSoundS]

Don't really understand this!!

I have the ric and nic video (dated I know)....its been useful.


If they have done it....whats wrong with Mr Mayhem doing it??

[Mayhem 1]

Copyrite rules/laws matey.

I have said many times that I wpould love to do this and from the number members and people from outside this forum requesting copies I would indeed end up quite well off £££££££!!!!!

But alas it is not possible - Yet

How did ric n nic get round it then??

[Mayhem 1]

They wrote the songs mate

[StarZSoundS]

Big Fish.....Little Fish???

Court Of King Caractacus(80 years ago)....???

[DJMaxG]

Will these be a DVD+RW in an envelope or a Professional Cut?

I would definately be up for watching it, a good laugh :D

[Mayhem 1]

If and when they are eventually done they will be proper DVD's.

And NOT just DVD-RW

[DJ Jules]

I've got the John Fowler's Rik and Nik DVD, and that's pretty incredible to watch. It's incredibly high energy, I'd die after 2 tracks doing the moves at the speeds they do.

I'd definitely be up for a copy if you can get round the copyright issues!

Julian

[DJMaxG]

What a shame, but at least Once the copyright stuff is sorted, you'll be pretty safe there

I would continue filming (if possible) and eventually you'll probably be able to produce the DVDs

You'd think they'd want a cut of it though :confused:

Who have pulled out, is it Rik and Nik?
