Fig is Part of Celebration at Hilton Towers

Last Saturday I deejayed a reception for Meghan Moffet and Dan Dzeicanokws, and it was a party. They held there ceremony and cocktail hour at the Hilton, and rented out the top tier suite, originally built for Elizabeth Taylor, for the reception. The suite was very large and quite perfect for a DJ, because of the layout and space. The suite was just for the party, so I believe the "home" feel really made people comfortable and ready to dance. The dancing floor was small enough that is gave a great vibe for dancing. The envoironment is key for dancing, because from my experience people/crowds like to be someone confined when busting a move, the intimacy builds a sense of security. So, I began the evening by playing high energy rock and lounge songs, that got poeple bopping. I choose this because it was 8pm, and I wanted to get people ready to rip up the dance floor. I then went into introductions, toasts, played music that the bride requested and that fit the atmospere. Then Meghan and Dan did their first dance, mother/son, father/daughter and I went straight into a polka which got many couples on the floor. I then played some fantastic Dean Martin and Sinatra hits, and then hit a few Italian hits, which really got the other crowd on the dance floor. I made the song go on repeat, so I built energy and momentum and had people joining the circle. When I felt the moment was right I ended the song and went straight into Respect by Arethra and everyone jumped on the dance floor. The night from that moment sailed onward hit after hit after hit, I played motown, disco, funk, 80's, blues.... The best part was hearing the crowds reaction when I began a new song, the song would begin everyone would look around and then scream when they realized what it was. Grandmothers were forming tango lines, people were breakdancing, jumping off of the walls, it was such a fun celebratory event! When I hit the old school 80's, Meghan and Dan's friends went crazy... I played a fantastic set... Bust A Move, Ice Ice Baby, Jump Around, You Have to Fight for your Right to Party, followed my Pust It. I was so pleased. I played until 1:30, when the dance floor was still going, but I had to say goodbye.
