August 2012 marked a ten year milestone for AJ Dance. While living in Nashville, TN, AJ Dance discovered the underground sounds of Vanderbilt University’s radio station WRVU 89.3. “The Underground Alarm Clock” hosted by Mindub on Tuesday mornings peeked AJ’s interest to attend a monthly party dubbed, “Audity Central” held on Nashville’s West End district at The End. Of course being a house music disciple since the late 1980’s and having danced since the young age of seven and up through to the college years at some serious fraternity and sorority parties, it was not until the new millennium that AJ was baptized into the waters of club land. Unfortunately, AJ missed the much acclaimed rave years. Since moving deeper south to Atlanta, Georgia in the spring of 2003, AJ has been a mainstay in the underground house music scene having danced to local acts; 4Deep, Daniel Gresham, Kai Alce, Cullen Cole and StanZeff and touring DJs; Kaskade, Marques Wyatt, Derrick Carter, Louie Vega and Culoe De Song at venues from the Crescent Room, MJQ, The Mark, Lava to 595 North. AJ has witnessed the night life’s movement of parties from Connect, MJQ’s Deep, SWEAT to Tambor. Having been an avid event promoter for the Dynamite Entertainment Group, 4Deep and Tambor there is no slowing down the happy feet of AJ Dance.
AJ Dance has danced in cities around the country: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, Nashville, San Francisco, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Washington D.C. and Windsor, Ontario. He has danced at notable festivals such as Atlanta’s House In The Park, Detroit’s Movement, Chicago’s Chosen Few DJ’s Old School Picnic, Dallas’ Lights All Night, and Miami’s Winter Music Conference. Yet, there is plenty more to come.
The journey of dance has been a labor of love with hopes of sharing the love of house music and the love of dance to a heartbroken world. Next time you’re at a party. Stop. Look around because you might catch AJ Dance in motion.
