We`ve already told our dj we`re not doing any of those line dances like the chicken dance or hands up, etc. but thanks for reminding me. I know I don`t have to put it on the list, but maybe I`ll consider it one of those 'just in case' scenarios like the photographer 'must have' photo lists we`re supposed to make.
You know...the funny thing is that my fiance is from Long Island and I am from South Jersey. I have NEVER heard of that song 'Hands Up' and I have been to a gazillion Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and Sweet 16's and weddings down here. It must be a popular Long Island line dance tune!

Not everyone likes the same music, that doesn`t mean those artists aren`t talented. I don`t care for Cher or Elton John, but I know they are extremely popular and they`re good at what they do. I just don`t find them appealing. When I told a dj representative we met with that we didn`t want Elton John played at our reception, she said something along the lines of how she loves Elton John and what a great show he puts on in concert. It made me feel guilty, but hey, this is our day and musically, he`s not something we want to hear.
Play : Lots of retro... 70's and 80's new wave and dance, swing, newer 'fun' music (believe it or not when I said that to my DJ he actually knew what I meant!).
