Is there anything specific that can be improved upon?

Ken was very courteous and played great music for all audiences (it was mixed kids to adult). A few things to improve: I did feel he needed to read the party a bit better at the beginning- people were just sitting down to dinner when he played hokey pokey as second song so no one did it. He did not bring the limbo stick I had requested. He was unable to teach dance moves for Electric slide. Otherwise, he did a great job and several people have told me the same. My overall performance rating would be between good and excellent: "Very good".

KEN RUSSELL RESPONSE: It did take a little while to motivate the crowd to dance as usual with most backyard parties and is why I played the Hokey Pokey as an ice breaker and I do remember there being some participation with it.

As far as the electric slide I do know how to teach it, but others took over and honestly I do admit I was a little rusty. And finally I don't remember a limbo stick being requested, but we did improvise and we found a bamboo stick that worked. Overall I'm glad they seem to be satisfied.

Additional comments or suggestions? I appreciated Ken contacting me immediately after being assigned to my party and being very helpful over the phone in helping me plan my event as well.
