I know how to Blame it on the Boogie better than the Jackson 5, point my disco finger higher than John Travolta and Time Warp better than Bill & Ted. I am the party. I am a BAR MITZVAH DJ.
All the time. It actually kind of hurts. You can never make EVERYONE happy. When people get drunk it’s the worst because they have no filter. I once had a guy try to take over the DJ’ing station. I think he fell over soon after he put on my headphones.

No tables. It’s all Mac's and mixers. There are virtual turntables that allow you to pass an MP3 onto specialized records that you can fully scratch with, as if you were actually playing the record. It’s pretty cool, and certainly brought a bit of legitimacy back to the DJ’ing industry.

I havent personally been there, but my company has done many. Through Magen Boys Entertainment in Toronto, ive seen performances by members of Glee and some rock bands. THeres another company in the city, who shall not be named, who actually had justin bieber show up at the bar mitzvah under the condition that it remained silent, no pics, no videos. The dj in charge couldnt resist and is being hit with several lawsuits

It's all about how you see yourself. You need to go out on the dance floor without any inhibitions. So 18 or 40. it doesn't matter, you just gotta be genuinely excited about what you do and be able to respect yourself while looking at an empty dance floor.

There's usually enough to pick from that you dont have to...and for the most part, a host is more concerned with her guests having a good time...so if it comes at the cost of a little Boom Boom Pow, generally thats a sacrifice theyre willing to make. Usually they ask not to play a song because they think theyre party doesnt need all the tried and true winning songs ie) OMG no Justin Bieber,....hes so awful. And without fail, if you do play the song, everyone is singing and dancing along. People hire professional DJ's because they know what to do to make the party rock....otherwise they would just plug in an ipod. So to answer your question, we'll try not to....but will establish at the initial meeting that we may need to use said songs to get the party going etc.

I've spent the balance of my 10 year career perfecting the dance. I only bust it out if the dance floor is absolutely rocking or if its the end of the night. I always get the dancers in on it with me too to make me look like a stud. "Backstreet's Back" Alright!
