What are Some Great Bar Mitzvah Dance Songs?

Are you a parent planning your son's bar mitzvah? If so, you're probably up to your ears with all the details. There are so many decisions to make and so much money to spend. Did you know that the average bar mitzvah costs $9,500 according to CNN? It's true -- and a portion of that money will likely be spent on a DJ. A good DJ is an essential part of any bar mitzvah celebration because good music and dancing keeps the crowd having fun. There are plenty of fantastic bar mitzvah dance songs from which you can choose.

Of course, you may want to leave things up to your DJ. Some DJs operate by putting together a play list ahead of time. This way, you can give your input on which songs you want played and when you want them played. Other DJs are going to want to decide what to play once they get the feel for the crowd. There are plenty of great dance songs that can be played to get the crowd up and dancing. A good idea is to have a good blend of classic and contemporary music.

Some examples of classic dance songs appropriate for a bar mitzvah include: 'Let's Hear it for the Boy,' 'Twist and Shout,' 'The Safety Dance,' 'I'm So Excited' and 'Born to be Wild.' Then there are all the newer songs, by artists like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Fall Out Boy, Ciara, Jay-Z and all the other artists who have made a name for themselves in the past several years. You might not know very much about teen music these days, but your DJ definitely should!

Bar mitzvah dance songs should be both fast and slow. The fast dance songs are fun for all kinds of dancing. You might want to do a conga line, a country line dance or even the Macarena, which of course has its own song. Slow songs are great for couples to get romantic. In addition, you will want to choose a slow song for the traditional mother/son dance. This song should be a sentimental expression of pride and love. Perhaps the most difficult choice is this song, so take your time and look for the piece of music that speaks to your heart the most.
