Dance Dance Party Party Back in Session

Newsflash: the DDPP Seattle Chapter has not been disbanded, just put on hold while loverly "den momma" Kelly Wiggins ran off to get married! Now she is back, and has her things in order, and the first re-installment of the girls-only, no-holds-barred dance workout class is scheduled for tomorrow night at Fremont Abbey Arts Center. The rules of the class are simple--"No boys, no booze, no judgment"--and what’s left over is a 90-minute open-floor dance class (of sorts) with the DJ spinning and the lights turned low.

Dance Dance Party Party originated in 2006 with two New York City girls: Glennis McMurray and Marcy Girt. The idea was to extract the fun and feverish cardio of dancing out at a club from the annoyance of cover charges, creepy guys, hurty shoes, and too-tight pants. (We do that last one to ourselves, ladies). So Dance Dance Party Party is simply that, a place where women can gather, blast music, and just dance. Since its inception, DDPP chapters have cropped up all over the place and we are very happy to see that it’s being reinstated here in Seattle. Moving? Traveling? Check out the main DDPP site for a listing of the dozen-plus chapters internationally and in the States.

Let’s dance! See you there.
