Assalamu alaikum

Many thanks for this clarification. After reading your question I came to the conclusion that brother you don't know anything about the faith of Islam. In simple words, whatever you are going to do in the memory of your friend is totally against the faith of Islam and the way of the holy Prophet. In Islam, this kind of dance and especially drinking and the half naked girls is something which is cleary forbidden and we are commanded to stay away from all these things. You need to contact any mosque to have some knowledge about the basics of Islam. However, I appreciate you for this contact and I request you to act according to it. In Islam, the best way to remember the deceased is, to make dua for his/her forgiveness before or after every prayer. To spend in the way of Allah in charity and send the reward for this deceased by doing dua for his forgiveness. Reciting the holy Quran and then make dua for him/her. These are the ways you need to follow for the sake of your friend.

Wassalam
