I know how to Blame it on the Boogie better than the Jackson 5, point my disco finger higher than John Travolta and Time Warp better than Bill & Ted. I am the party. I am a BAR MITZVAH DJ.
Stop the party, and tell every kid that whoever can bring me back an adult twice their age I will give them a prize. The bribe generally works and when they bring back an older woman quickly follow up with "heyyyy, no cheating, there's no way she’s twice your age". The kid gets their prize, the woman LOVES it and I hit them hard with one of 9 Black Eyed Peas tracks that are consistent winners on the dance floor.

Yah, kids get really bitchy. The sad thing is they don't know any better so it’s hard to hold it against or judge them. I’ve seen plenty of bar/bat mitzvah kids cry at their own party. Its usually because they’re not part of the cool crew and see the "cool kids" snickering at them/not participating or conversely, they are part of the cool crew and something mortifying happens that compromises their credibility and they get incredibly self conscious.

No tables. It’s all Mac's and mixers. There are virtual turntables that allow you to pass an MP3 onto specialized records that you can fully scratch with, as if you were actually playing the record. It’s pretty cool, and certainly brought a bit of legitimacy back to the DJ’ing industry.

I havent personally been there, but my company has done many. Through Magen Boys Entertainment in Toronto, ive seen performances by members of Glee and some rock bands. THeres another company in the city, who shall not be named, who actually had justin bieber show up at the bar mitzvah under the condition that it remained silent, no pics, no videos. The dj in charge couldnt resist and is being hit with several lawsuits

It's all about how you see yourself. You need to go out on the dance floor without any inhibitions. So 18 or 40. it doesn't matter, you just gotta be genuinely excited about what you do and be able to respect yourself while looking at an empty dance floor.

I've spent the balance of my 10 year career perfecting the dance. I only bust it out if the dance floor is absolutely rocking or if its the end of the night. I always get the dancers in on it with me too to make me look like a stud. "Backstreet's Back" Alright!
