4 Harlem Shake School Videos

Yes I know the 2013 Harlem Shake craze was weird, (and a huge waste of time if your looking at them on youtube) but we have 4 Harlem Shake School Videos to show you from back then. Also many of you don’t understand it, but anytime I can get all crazy as the Los Angeles School DJ then I’m all the way in.

The first one is for my Daughter Kelly’s elementary school Calahan, they had a jog-o-thon that I volunteer for. Jog-o-thons are a way for school’s to raise funds with the kids jogging or running around a track. The child will get sponsors who will pay a certain amount for each lap they complete. So if you promise $1.00 a lap and they do 30 laps… well you just helped out the school with $30.00. While the kids are running or jogging, the DJ needs to keep their energy up and keep the fun going on as well as making announcements about time and taking request. I talked them into the Harlem Shake.

The second video is for a great family (Hamontree) in Newport who had a 8 year old birthday party. I’m not sure the kids understood what I wanted them to do, but they seem crazy enough and Jen my dancer and I had fun. Every time I go do a small kids party, I feel like “oh god, I’m to old for this”. But each time we show up, the kids do not care, they just want to have fun, and it definitely infuses you with a ton of energy.

The last one of the Harlem Shake School Videos is for St. Euphrasia in Granada Hills, and I was back at it handling another Jog-o-thon. What was great about this one is the principal Mrs. Blair helped start things off, fun school, fun parents, and great teachers. We have been doing this Catholic Schools events for over 10 years. Principal Mrs. Blair has since retired and then Covid has changed things at the school, but we are always ready to bring the joy back.

Lastly we handled Maia Yosef’s Bat Mitzvah and of course we had to do the Harlem Shake. It’s a little like where’s Waldo but instead it’s where’s DJ Alvis? 2013 was a crazy year, and that was over 10 years ago!!!!
