I have to admit, sometimes the daily tasks of life can seem overwhelming.  Between working with people, getting things organized, creating new things and making sure to not get behind there is always something to do.

Here is just a short list of the things I am working on…

1. VIDEOS – a video of the Catholic Dance.  it will happen.  I have recruited my friend Rob from Spirit Juice Studios to help me with this project.  Check his link on the left side. This will be one of the many videos that i will be making sure are a part of my site!

2. PROMOTION – I have a need to advertise who I am.  I am new to the National scene but have been doing regional youth events for almost 10 years now (dang I am getting OLD!)  So with my Las Vegas launch of the Catholic Dance I have the Diocese of Rochester in New York (thanks Sue!) set for April and a bunch of other dioceses looking into my show for their youth event in the fall and into 2008!  Keep an eye open for something in the mail before February!!

3. SHOWS – among all of that stuff and balancing family responsibilities I am still keeping very busy with shows.  I had a great time helping out with the St. Hubert’s lock in last Friday.  The youth seemed to really get into the dance and they all enjoyed the Catholic Dance!  I tell you…it is spreading!  The goal is to be bigger than the macarena!  :)

So…please keep checking back, bookmark my site, comment on my blog, sign up for my newsletter that will have its very first issue within the next 2 weeks! 2007 is indeed the year for the Catholic Dance to get moving through out the Nation!

Peace,

Youth Rally Entertainment – What exactly does DJ Bill do??

The one thing is people are a little confused as to what it is exactly what I do. So I am going to try to the best of my ability explain what I do.

1. DJ Bill Entertains – I am not your local mobile DJ. I am a complete high energy, interactive show. I use a stage, get kids involved, teach them dances, play games, give away prizes, spray them with toilet paper, etc,. It is more of a concert feel then your run of the mill dance. Normally I provide a 2 hour show that will hold everyones attention and we will make sure everyone leaves thinking that they had the best time ever.

2. DJ Bill Tells Stories – I love to share my faith and my heart with youth. I have a passion for Jesus and the Catholic church and I love telling people how I embrace being different then the norm and how it is important to not be like everyone else. When I am able to keynote, I focus a lot on how important my faith and pray life is to me. I also love sharing how the Holy Spirit can be the “spiritual lighter fluid” to set our hearts on fire!

3. DJ Bill Is Present The Whole Day – At most youth rallies I attend, I always make sure to be there and participate during the whole day. I think it is important for the youth to see this example but also to be available in case someone needs a prayer or assistance. I believe it is important to live in the moment and be a part of the whole community. Also, if you need an emergency filler up on stage…I am just a few steps away. My goal is that your event goes smoothly and that everyone not only is entertained but has an amazing time!

4. DJ Bill Warms Up The Crowd – If your event starts at 10:00am…then get me on stage at 9:30am! I think it is very important to set the right tone and have people arriving into something happening instead of an empty room with nothing going on. Energy breeds energy. Having kids up and doing something will attract people arriving and will make them want to join in.

5. DJ Bill Knows Youth Rallies – I have been involved in all different stages of planning and organizing youth rallies for over 20 years now. I am always available for advice, thoughts or any questions that people have. In fact, some of that knowledge

So….that is me in a nut shell. I hope you agree that what I offer is something that is fun, exciting, different and unique.

I look forward to chatting with you soon.

You gotta get yourself connected…

I have to admit…I don’t think of myself as a salesman. In fact, I find it fun talking to people and sharing with them what I do.

I am not a big fan of calling people and having to sell what I do. I like to see what they are currently doing and how my participation can help or assist. For example, today I called someone from Virginia and it was fun just talking to them and finding out about what they are doing for the youth of their diocese.

So in order to keep connected with everyone I am trying to start a Newsletter. My goal is to make friendships with youth leaders on all levels, parish and diocesan, and keep in touch with them. My hope is to have a monthly newsletter with some information on things to do to ensure your events (especially dances) will be a success.

If you would like to sign up for the newsletter, their is a place to do so just left of this post…yeah…right over there!

< ----- At the top where it says Catholic Dance Newsletter!

All I need is your name and email. That is it. Again, if you receive the newsletter and do not want to get it anymore, there will always be a link at the bottom to unsubscribe. I do not like SPAM just like you so I will not do that to you. I PROMISE!

Thank you for signing up and be on the look out for news about a new promotional video being made and all the places I will be in 2007!

Peace,
