We are the guys that have been helping people all across Canada host their own Much Video Dance (MVD). As MuchMusic’s exclusive supplier, our company, Videomax Inc., has worked with the Much promotions people to produce the almost 20,000 events hosted since 1988. back to top
The MVD is a mobile video road show. We utilize music videos as the music entertainment for people to dance to.
We bring the big screen(s), rear-projection LCD projectors, sound system, dance floor lighting and special effects, real Much prizes to give away, posters and promo before the event, a live on-screen VJ Host, and most importantly, all the best music videos from our extensive video dance library. back to top
Schools (elementary, middle, junior high and high schools), colleges & universities, community groups, fundraising and charity organizations, corporate events, and of course private events.
Music. It’s all about the music. Every event, and every crowd is different. By varying the programming to suit the audience, we can structure an MVD for any crowd.
We play the music that works for your crowd. We aren’t there to play what we like, but rather what makes your event work. Whether you need hip hop, r & b, pop, rock, old school, retro… we can program a mix that will work for your audience. back to top
Of course we take requests!! It’s by the requests and the response on the dance floor that we are able to tell what your crowd is into.
Our aim is to program an age appropriate mix for your audience. Our videos have been edited before they ever get added to our video dance library, and we also have the ability to edit “on-the-fly” during an event.
Sure. Retro, old school, … you tell us the theme for your event, and we can program the music around that theme.
Since 1988 we have been virtually everywhere in Canada. If we can get there by land, boat, or plane, you can host an MVD.
Gymnasiums, cafeterias, auditoriums, banquet halls, community centers, arena ice surfaces, tents… you name it, we have probably done a video dance in a location just like the one you have in mind. If you still have a question as to whether the location you are considering will work, just call and ask us to go over the technical details of the set up with you. Just remember, we are a video projection event, and darkness is required for best results. back to top
We have MVD posters available, and we can download logos and artwork to you for use in local newspapers, to create you own flyers, advertising, or tickets.
We bring Much t-shirts, and CD prizes to give away at every event.
The pricing varies depending on a number of factors. The day of
the week, whether an afternoon or evening dance, the city (for travel purposes),
the hosting organization, etc. In order to provide you with an accurate
quote, we need these details from you.

We look after the actual entertainment, so you are responsible for everything else. Securing the location, advertising and promotion, selling of tickets, and event security.
We are licensed by the AVLA (Audio Video Licensing Association) and that allows us to show the videos at your event. We have already paid those fees. Any other fees (such as SOCAN- those are fees collected on behalf of music writers and performers) are the responsibility of you and the venue operator.
There is a contract between you (the hosts), and us (the producers), that is put together at the time of booking the event. Once that is signed by both of us, we are obligated to be there for you.
Yes, we have comprehensive general liability insurance covering any mishaps created by our equipment and staff at your event. Any other insurance needs are between you and the venue for your event.
