I tried to learn and realized that in order to have a decent setup you have to drop at least $1,500 (but you can buy crapy sets and a mixer for around $500). And yeah, you either have someone who can really spin or someone who really can't. Another thing is you need to have someone spinning the right kind of music. Most DJ's out there are into club music, which might be great for a rave kid but not the urban or suburban crowd. Just some thoughts. If you can do it, then yeah the kids'll love it. Maybe invite a friend who can do it every once in a while. I agree with Jay.

We do it at least twice a semester and kids seem to dig it. Everyone always wants lessons though after club (contact work idea? DJ lessons at another time?) It is a hassle to set up and break down and you really need someone who knows how to spin or it kinda sucks. The other downside is cost. A good setup (used) will cost you at least 500 plus vinyl.... All that being said Tables in club are sick...Keep Vinyl Alive. Peace. The turntable thing works and kids really like it. We do it at least twice a semester and kids seem to dig it.
