#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesdays - Wedding Edition

So, I was in LA this past weekend for my friends' wedding - I was so honored to take part in the wedding as a bridesmaid and had the BEST time.  You know what can really  make or break a wedding, though?


THE MUSIC.

Well, I guess the food and the company matters, but still. ;-)  

Nicole and Jay's DJ was really great - great energy and played exactly what they wanted.  Their DJ was Shawn Vasquez of Amazing Event DJs in South Pasadena, CA and he did an amazing job getting the guests involved and pumped up!


We even made a few requests and he came through.  Cha Cha Slide, anyone?

Here's just a selection of what we got our groove thangs moving to:

I can't wait to see the photos of us boogying down on the dance floor!


Also, they learned a sweet and beautiful dance to Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up - definitely made me tear up and listen to the song in a new way.  I am so excited for my friends on their new married adventure!  


Perfect weekend, perfect wedding, perfect couple, perfect music!  For me, music can make a situation that much more meaningful... which means that when it comes time for my wedding, I am definitely going to have to turn to using a spreadsheet like Nic did! ;-)  

Making The Mixtape: Dance Party

I am psyched.  Why, you ask?  Don't worry, I'll tell you.  I'm going to be helping run a 

DANCE PARTY EXTRAVAGANZA!!

Okay, it's not exactly a dance party extravaganza.  

However, it's pretty damn close.  I work with special needs high school students, and we've been having a gym teacher run an "aerobics" class for them twice a week for the last few months.  I put aerobics in quotations because it's really more of a "dance around the room for an hour" time.  Can't really complain about it too much, really.  I get paid to "dance around the room for an hour" with kids who crack me up.  Better yet, the kids really seem to like it.  

Story of my life.

The gym teacher's sessions with us end in a week or so, but we are going to try to continue it on our own, and lead the students in our own version of "aerobics" - zumba videos, aerobics videos, general dance-around-the-room-fun-time-ness.  It's gonna be a fantastic time.  Here's the playlist that I've started to put together from my iTunes collection; I originally had it about twice as long, but then realized that a bunch of songs were slightly inappropriate.  Ah, $#%&.  

Oh, what was that?  You don't know the Cha Cha Slide (Part 2)?  

Dear Casper, I'm waiting for Part 3.  Also, where's Part 1? I'm confused. I can't find it. XO, Jo.

What do you like to get your groove thang on to? What do you boogie down to?
