A great choice for Mt. Prospect DJs Ameritune has our roots in Mt Prospect. We began our music career there, more than 30 years ago. Recently, while playing at Victorias In The Park for Krysta and Tom’s wedding, someone requested a little Michael Jackson during the dancing part of the reception. Of course being that he passed away so recently, this seemed like a good opportunity to do a little more than just play a song or two. So I borrowed a white glove from one of the banquet servers and announced a Michael Jackson dance off.
He kinda looks like Michael too
I have introduced Michael Jackson dance offs before at weddings and parties- usually with good success. So, I wasn’t suprised when the group quickly formed a circle and one Michael Jackson after another Michael Jackson appeared in the middle, showcasing very bad dance moves, and passing the symbolic white glove. This kind of interaction works best when done a little later in the evening, after the bartender has had time to serve lots of dance lessons. I think the groomsman above is dancing to Billy Jean, but there are many different good songs to use- Beat it, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Wanna Be Startin Somethin’, The Way You Make Me Feel, Bad, Black or White, etc. Its kind of funny, but I remember playing all these songs way back when they were brand new on the charts. I still have the records. (Yep we’ve been around for a while.) They were great songs then and still are great songs now. You can say a lot of bad stuff about Michael Jackson, but one thing is for sure-his music makes people want to dance.
