And We Danced DJ Entertainment Joins Forces With Silent Sound System At Recent Silent Disco

Posted on June 30, 2022June 30, 2022 by And We Danced

And We Danced DJ Entertainment had the pleasure of DJing with Silent Sound System at the Pennsylvania Bus Association’s fun-filled Silent Disco reception at the Wyndham Garden State College. A Silent Disco is a music filled event with DJs mixing music and guests wearing headphones that minimize noise pollution and disturbance. Guests wear headphones and have access to three separate transmissions of music from three separate DJs. If they do not like the song on one channel, they may change to another and continue singing and dancing. The only people that know what is being played by the DJ are the people wearing headphones tuned into a specific channel. The colors seen on each headphone set indicate what DJ they are listening to at that time.

Silent Discos became popular during the nineties when raves were causing music disturbances to neighbors. Today, they are being utilized in a variety of businesses. A backpack is also available that provides the feeling of a subwoofer. The bass of a song is transmitted to a person wearing the backpack. So, the thumping beat can be felt even though no speakers are being utilized to transmit the music.

The Pennsylvania Bus Association is a nonprofit organization representing private bus companies. They represent the business and governmental interests of private bus companies that operate in Pennsylvania. One of their missions is to promote motorcoach travel through tourism or charter service. Each year they have an annual meeting. This year, Happy Valley Adventure Bureau helped create the four-day event with a variety of fun-filled experiences alongside business opportunities.

Each guest was given headphones to wear and taught how to tune into the three different channels. They then gravitated to the dance floor and began to dance. It was fun to watch the different colors on the headphones intermix on the dance floor. One person might be dancing to a song the blue channel and another on the red or green. It didn’t matter what color guests listened to at the time, but all were dancing and having fun.

Thank you, Silent Sound System and the Pennsylvania Bus Association for allowing And We Danced DJ Entertainment to be part of your amazing event!

And We Danced DJ Entertainment At The Wedding Of Noah And Haley

Posted on March 27, 2022March 27, 2022 by And We Danced

And We Danced DJ Entertainment performed at the wedding celebration of Haley and Noah held at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center. The happy couple were united in marriage by Sarah Voight at Saint Paul’s United Methodist Church in State College, Pennsylvania. Haley wore a bewitching white, three-quarter length sleeved, lacey, and beaded gown from Formalities by Tracina Fisher. The theme for the event was fall coloring featuring brown, plum, and peach colors. The bridal attendants were garbed in delightful plum gowns. Noah and his groomsmen were arrayed in brown tweed jackets displaying a hint of orange and gray pants.

The Penn Stater’s Delyn Walker, Conference and Catering Manager, and her staff presented the guests with tempting hors-d’œuvres and a magnificent meal. Avant Garden created the beautiful bouquets, corsages, boutonnières, and table arrangements. Delectable Delights by Heather crafted a gorgeous, tiered wedding cake with two white dogs as the top centerpiece. The featured dogs resembled the two dogs that are part of Haley and Noah’s family. The Mane Style coiffed the bride, bridal party, and bride’s mother. Bob Lambert captured those beautiful and glorious moments between the bride, groom, family, and friends throughout the day and evening.

Noah and Haley love the classic songs spanning from the 1960s through the 1980s in addition to modern classics. Haley belonged to a swing dance club in college, and many of her friends showed that they could jitterbug and perform ballroom dancing moves. Noah and Haley began the night dancing to Etta James’ “Sunday Kind of Love.” And We Danced DJ Entertainment opened the dance floor, and friends and family began to shake their booty to the music. Noah requested the “Chicken Dance” be played, and he shook his feathers alongside Haley, family, and friends to the timely classic. Haley’s grandfather, who is in a wheelchair, led the dancers in a conga line around the room. Throughout the night, guests were laughing, smiling, and dancing to the beat. In the end, family and friends congregated around Noah & Haley while they danced their final dance of the night.

Thank you, Haley and Noah for choosing And We Danced DJ Entertainment to be a part of your wedding day festivities. Good luck as you begin your new life as husband and wife!

And We Danced DJ Entertainment At Natalie’s Magnificent Pool Party

Posted on September 28, 2020September 28, 2020 by And We Danced

And We Danced DJ Entertainment had the pleasure of providing the musical tunes for Natalie’s Magnificent Pool Party. Natalie chose a beautiful, sunny day to host her party. She had a lovely luncheon available for guests to partake. A bartender was busy serving kid-friendly and adult refreshments to guests. A photo booth was available for guests to take some pictures, and And We Danced DJ Entertainment was busy mixing while guests were busy singing the tunes, clapping to the music or dancing.

Natalie’s puppy also played a big role at Natalie’s Magnificent Pool Party. When the puppy was allowed out to play with guests around the pool, she made sure she got to sample the treats available from the luncheon. The puppy didn’t step behind the camera for any photo booth photos, but the bartender did serve her a big glass of ice cold water. Natalie’s puppy was a little nervous about stepping into the pool, but she finally dived in and swam to get Natalie’s attention and approval. The puppy showed everyone that she did indeed know how to doggy-paddle.

Throughout the ages, people have been gathering around bodies of water. So, pool parties have been part of history for a very long time. Looking back, the first man-made public pool known as the “great bath” was created in 3000 B.C.E. by the Mohenjo-dario people. In the 6^th century B.C.E., the Palaestras create an open pool for socializing and swimming. By 305 A.D.E., the Romans built the first heated public pool. In the early 1800s, England creates the first indoor swimming club which becomes really popular as a meeting area. In 1895, the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, the family home of George and Edith Vanderbilt, is the first American home to have an indoor swimming pool and hosted pool parties. In 1907, the Philadelphia Racquet Club opens the first modern above ground swimming pool. By the 1950s, backyard pool parties are soaring in popularity. Today, there is one activity people cannot live without and that is swimming. The only thing that beats just going swimming is having a magnificent pool party where everyone can relax, cool off and have some fun!

Thank you Natalie for choosing And We Danced DJ Entertainment to be a part of your Magnificent Pool Party festivities.
