We had a blast with the Sixth Graders of Lake Forest at the Gorton Community Center! We rocked out two dances on back-to-back nights. Night one featured the all-star crew of Marz, Shawn, Walt & Katie! Here’s a few highlights from the first dance:
Charizma Entertainment – North Shore DJs – Grotto Dance @ Gorton Community Center – Lake Forest, IL
We have the annual privilege of providing entertainment for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Chicago and Lombard. These races bring together 10,000+ survivors, supporters, family and friends. The energy and love in from every person in the crowd is inspiring!
This organization is THE BEST entertainment company in the nation. Not only have I known Marz and Charizma for more than 20 years and their excellent services for weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and events but also to see their gracious support of our cause “breast cancer”. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure reaches thousands of women and families and they make the event electrifying! Charizma is what differentiates our event from every other 5k/10k run walk at Grant Park in Chicago.

You can put out the most decadent brownie & the most luscious crème brulee on your sweet table…. but what do all the kids and adults alike clamor for? CANDY!
I love creating these candy tables for clients! I’ve done dozens of them, yet each one has it’s own unique touch. I start by chatting with the bar/bat mitzvah child about their favorites. I always ask them for 5-7 of their must have favorites & from there we build an abundant display. I use a mixture of minis, full size and movie theater boxes. Each candy buffet is customized with thoughtful details, color, and creativity.
A candy buffet is a great element for an interactive dessert & addition to a traditional sweet table . Or also add some small custom bags for a sweet take-home for each guest!

One of the most asked questions at our pre-event meetings for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs is “How much of that stuff do I need for the dance floor?” The truth is, you don’t need even one hat. Marz always says, “No one is going to leave your party thinking, ‘I had an amazing time, BUT I didn’t get a glow necklace.'”
That said, some fun dance floor party favors can always add to the fun and the kids do enjoy them. Our general rule of thumb is about 3 items per kid. So if you have 70 kids coming, about 200-250 pieces (can’t hurt to have a few extras for the adults!) Our dancers will typically hand out a glow/LED item during the snowball and hat & glasses during the main dance sets.
What to get? LED jewelry, K West inspired shades & fedora hats are hot right now. Our favorite item is the LED foam stick. Priced at about $1.60 each, this is an awesome item that both kids and adults love to dance with. For under $200 you can fill your dance floor with high-impact, multi-color lights. They are super lightweight so no worries about anyone getting hurt during the party rockin’.
We’ve got samples & info on all the latest stuff in our office. We’ll help you make the best choices for your event. Enjoy!
