Sam’s Bar Mitzvah
‘All I Do Is Win’ from DJ Khaled is one of Sam’s favorite songs and it was his theme for the night as friends and family celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on May 7th at the University Club in Portland.
The guests arrived to a variety of background music from Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Marvin Gaye and others. While the adults engaged in conversation, the kids ate dinner and had fun with a mobile tatoo parlor and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream bar.
The sugar high kicked in pretty fast and with all the kids gathered, we launched into a fun set of games that included, ‘Name That Tune’, ‘Jukebox Eliminator’, and the Limbo. I spun a lot of current hit music during this time, plus a swing dance and break dance to another Sam favorite – ‘Rapper’s Delight’ from the Sugarhill Gang.
After Havdalah and a video, all the guests returned to the dance floor for ‘The Hora’ and traditional Chair Raising. They were energized and ready to dance to a mix of fun songs from the Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Cee-Lo Green’s big hit ‘Forget You’, the Cha Cha Slide and more. Everyone seemed to have a good time and I got the thumbs up from Sam as we finished the night with a slow dance.
Mazel Tov Sam and thank you mom Jill/Lauren for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
