DJ Connor Smyth will be spinning tunes as host of a New Year鈥檚 Eve dance party for children and parents at Qualicum Beach Community Hall.

The event starts at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 31 and wraps up at 6 p.m., with all profits going to the Society of Organized Services (SOS).

Expect plenty of catchy songs by the likes of DJ Tiesto, DJ Marshmallow, Talyor Swift and 鈥楪angnam Style鈥� by South Korean rapper Psy.

鈥淕etting everyone dancing is my favourite,鈥� Smyth said. 鈥淪o they鈥檙e not just sitting on a chair the whole time and doing nothing.鈥�

This won鈥檛 be 10-year-old Smyth鈥檚 first DJ gig, but if all 100 tickets sell, it will be his largest yet. He recently DJ鈥檈d Oceanside Elementary鈥檚 fall dance party, as well as some events in North Vancouver, where the family relocated from over the summer.

鈥淵es I鈥檓 a kid but I also have tons of deep songs, upbeat songs and crazy dance songs,鈥� said Smyth.

The family went to Ibiza last year and Connor was inspired when he saw DJs perform there, said his dad, Dave Smyth.

Connor told his parents he wanted to rent a hall and have a party.

鈥淎nd Mom and Dad thought, 鈥榳ell that鈥檚 not gonna happen,鈥欌�� Dave said. 鈥淏ut he came to us with a bit of a plan and said he wanted to sell tickets.鈥�

That first party was a success and sold 60 tickets. After DJing several events, Connor has been able to pay back his parents, donate to charity and keep a little for himself.

His next step is hopefully to create a few remixes of his own.

For this New Year鈥檚 Eve event, he will get some help from his brother Callum, who will be in charge of serving snacks and drinks.

Tickets are $10 and include admission, as well as a glow stick and three tickets that can be exchanged for chips, candy, juice and water. A parent or guardian is expected to attend with their child, and adults and infants get in for free.

There will be lots of seating for anyone not dancing, plus stations for drawing and doing puzzles, and even a few table tennis tables.

Tickets are available online . Qualicum Beach Community Hall is located at 644 Memorial Ave.
