EXperience Makes!





Dance With Lance Entertainment was founded by Lance Kussell, an established, passionately enthusiastic and knowledgeable music and event professional in the Boston area. Dance With Lance DJ performances and special events get people moving, the mood elevates, and event attendees quickly realize they've come to the right place! The music is thrilling and the crowd wants more. The company offers disc jockey entertainment, event planning services, and special event production for private, corporate, and institutional clients. Kussell is a graduate of Harvard College and Boston University's Graduate School of Management (M.B.A). While he worked as an intern at WBCN 104.1 FM in high school, it was during his undergraduate college years when he launched Dance With Lance Entertainment as a solution to disappointing music at gatherings of all kinds. Quickly, he became a fixture of campus parties from Boston College to Babson, and from Wheelock to Wellesley. After many hundreds of nightclub, wedding, and private party performances, Lance, or "Dance With Lance" is Boston’s sophisticated host and electric DJ entertainer. As one fan put it, he has become truly “the cure for the common DJ”. Simply put, his combination of inspired music selection, broad knowledge of all popular music, and a true entertainer's touch makes the Dance With Lance experience truly satisfying.
