A Touch of Class Entertainment
Entertainment for all occasions
    While most of the DJs at A Touch of Class Entertainment play bars, clubs and parties with strict age requirements, it's important to note that DJing is for kids, too. One of the longest-running DJ outfits in the area is the duo of Louis Cooper and Sherry Cohen, whose company caters to the little people.
    "We do not only do sweet 16s, wedding and bar mitzvahs, we also secialize in kids parties," says Louis Cooper. "Our shows are sort of a high-energy intense program for kids. It includes an 'American Idol' dress up show, where kids get to dress up like their favorite rock stars and sing, and then there's a series of games and activities set to the Radio Disney format."
    with a veritable arby of young assistants, and boxes of boas, parachutes and other kid-firendly accessories, Cooper and Cohen are just one of many local outfits that rock the kid's parties. A Touch of Class Entertainment has been in business for over 28 years.
