He is also bi-lingual, for those looking for a well spoken Spanish / English DJ. As a dance instructor he has taught many couples to up their game for their "first dance" and can also teach Merengue and Salsa dancing for those who love Latin style music. Gil started training at the age of 16 in different styles of dance ranging from Urban Street Dances such as Popping, Locking and Break-dancing, to Latin styles such as Salsa, Merengue, Mambo, Samba, Cha-Cha, and Rumba, to Ballroom styles like Foxtrot, Waltz, American Tango, Swing and Lindy Hop.

For the last four years he has donated his time to survivors of rape as well as victims of abuse to empower and teach them how to defend themselves. Using the lessons he has learned throughout his life-long journey and training combined with an amazing imagination he has produced a work dealing with this delicate and serious subject matter, in a tactful but forthright manner.

The novel is designed to help children and teens to protect themselves against all kinds of abuse from bullying to sexual assault.

Amazing !!! Gil was so much fun at our wedding! We wanted nothing but a fun, upbeat party and he made sure it happened. DJ's are the life of the party after all, so our main concern was finding someone fun! Our guests had a great time dancing all night and singing along. It was even more fun when he sang and danced with us. In addition to his DJ services, my dad and I took swing dance lessons from Gil for our Father-Daughter dance. Having NO dance experience at all, Gil taught us to swing in a few short weeks. He is the nicest person and treats you like family so you never feel embarrassed for not knowing how to dance! Plus you'll be a pro in no time, I highly recommend. Thank you Gil :)

When I was planning our wedding, the main item I was worried about was finding the perfect DJ that would have all 185 guests dancing all night long! Then, following a few less than stellar calls with other DJs, we found Gil :) After reading his reviews I knew that he was the DJ we'd been looking for and lucky for us he was available on Dec 2nd 2017! All the reviews about Gil are spot on! Not only did he go above and beyond meeting with us before the wedding to make sure to give musical advice as well as understand what we were looking for, but during the wedding he had everyone on the dance floor all night long, which is exactly what we wanted! Gil's extreme energy and exceptional personality make him a one of a kind DJ, and I can't imagine our wedding without him. Everyone was on the dance floor from the second the dance music started until the very end, and one week later I still have family and friends messaging me, raving about Gil and how amazing he was! As they sometimes say, a picture is worth 1,000 words :) So I've attached a couple to show the awesome night that Gil more than helped to create! Thank you for everything, Gil! You are hands down the best DJ in the area!!!! You deserve 10 stars!!!

Gil is incredible. I don't feel like I only hired a DJ for my wedding, I feel like we truly made a friend. I found DJ Gil through the open house at our venue and was immediately drawn to his high energy, fun loving personality. I knew instantly that we would hire him! He graciously met my husband and I to get to know us better, and to talk with us about his style and what he offers. We had more contact leading up to the wedding- he genuinely cares about creating a relationship with you. My grandmother passed 5 days before our wedding, and I sort of "dropped the ball" with giving him all the info he needed...but he truly came to the rescue and so much more. He made our wedding THE absolute best day of our lives. He can get ANYONE to dance and have an AMAZING time! I could not have imagined a better day. He will absolutely make your wedding the best day ever, and your guests will have the time of their lives. Most importantly, he listens to what you want...he will make your day exactly how you envision it, and so much more! He will grant any and all requests you make and will actively engage your guests. I have nothing but incredible things to say about him. Just make sure that after your wedding you're ready to give his information to all your guests- because they will want to hire him too! |

Hire Gil Keough - The Dancing DJ I work in the hospitality industry and have worked with Gil for over 10 years. He is our first choice for any event we have such as a Holiday Party, a grand opening for one of our hotels, a client event, our corporate conference, etc. He is so engaging and so fun to be around. You can tell he really loves what he does. When we have a client appreciation party, one of the first questions asked is will Gill be the DJ. In fact, one of our client's has actually hired Gil for one of their events because he is THAT GOOD!!

Highly Recommended If you want your guests up and dancing all night long, Gil is the DJ for you! If you're looking for a fun, party atmosphere, Gil is the DJ for you!! Gil was very energetic from the get-go and kept everyone on the dance floor. My guest said that the DJ was awesome and loved the energy he brought. Gil also provided the sound for the ceremony (also at Meredith Manor) and the music for the cocktail hour. Gil has DJ'd many weddings at Meredith Manor, so it was great to have a vendor there who knew the venue. Overall, I recommend Gil as a DJ if you're looking to have a hell of a good time at your wedding! 
Adelaide · 5.0 .... Gil is just incredible.
This was the email I sent to Gil right after my wedding: "I don't even know where to begin, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was just blown away by your work on Sunday. I knew it was going to be good...I told everyone how awesome you were going to be, but I could not have predicted how epic that reception was. I'm sure that all of your receptions are like that because of how talented you are, but I want you to know that you went above and beyond because my family is not easy! I have never seen my parents up and dancing for that long. They always dance for a few songs, but I did not expect them to be out on the floor the entire time. That's huge!!! I had such an incredible time dancing all night, and I know everyone else did too! There were so many people asking me where we found you and commenting on what a great job you did. I'm sure you get that all the time, but I can't tell you enough! You're just amazing! THANK YOU! Thank you thank you." Gil is just incredible. If you want to rest assured that your night is going to be perfect, contact the Dancing DJ!!!!
