old skool

DJ Sleazy E took us on a ride down memory lane this week.  She rocked hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and we loved it!! And as a quick sidenote- who the hell knew that “99 Luftballoons” (aka track 17) was actually the greatest dance song EVER?!? Check out her artistry below, and remember that we won’t be meeting next week (2/3). But don’t cry- we’ll be back in full force on Feb. 10th!

NO DDPP NEXT WEEK!

We’ll be taking a week off next Sunday (2/3) so that we may celebrate that holiest of American sporting traditions…… The Super Bowl.  Ok, so truthfully I could care less about the damn game, but there is delicious food to be consumed and refreshing beer to be chugged while sitting on the sofa with friends.

But do not fear, we’ll be back with a vengenace on Feb. 10th, with a hot new playlist and some fresh new moves inspired by all those end-zone touchdown dances.  See you then!

Small but mighty

The cold weather and long weekend kept the crowd small this week, but it could not keep the energy (or fun) level low. Five people strong, the ladies at this week’s DDPP had all the more room to run, spin, and get their groove on!! DJ Smallie Bigs worked her mix magic, which reminded us all that we can “dance if we wanna” and when we do dance, it’s “like a wave on the ocean romance”. Long live The Hooters.

See you dancing fools next week. Same bat time. Same bat station.

It only gets BETTER!

DJ Moses & The Kid BROUGHT IT this week with their fabulous mix, and the ladies took to the dance floor with a vengeance!! Check out their handywork below.

And if you’ve been wondering what DDPP is really like, are worried you might feel a little weird and awkward, but think it might be kinda fun…. it is. Even more fun than you think. So come out and join us next Sunday- you know you want to!

oh yeah, a few more things

• If you’re making  mix for an upcoming DDPP, keep it between 60-70 minutes (as opposed to the original 75-80 min that we said).  It seems like less is more in this case, and it helps to have some extra time to clean up and all

• The Parlor is an AWESOME space, but the one drawback is an automatic locking front door that can’t be propped.  This makes it tough to let people in once we’ve started rocking out, since our studio is way in the back.  So please try and be there by 5, and if you’re running late call someone on the inside so we can come get ya! (if you don’t have my #, email me at michiko.hunt@gmail.com and I’ll give it to you)

This is how we do it…

Ladies,

Thanks to you and your fabulous selves, the first meeting of DDPP Philly was a smashing success!! The turnout was fantastic, and even included a few peeps I had never met who heard about us through a friend in Chicago. It rocked. So much so that we’ll be doing it again next week! Same time, same place. Spread the word and bring your friends. And of course…. we’ll need someone to rock the dance floor with their DJ skilz! Whose it gonna be?? Let me know if you want it to be you. For some inspiration… DJ hapajawn brings you the playlist that rocked the dance floor this week…

See you next Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!

What do YOU want to hear??

We’re gearing up for the very first DDPP Philly next week, and DJ hapajawn is working her ipod mix magic to create the most slammy jammy bootie shakin’ dance mix you’ve heard in a minute.  And while her talents are extensive, she can always use added inspiration….

So, what are you dying to hear next week?? What will get you so excited that you’ll find yourself spontaneously flying across the dance floor when it comes on?! Come on…. you know you can think of one.  When you do, email it to ddppphilly@gmail.com, and DJ hapajawn will do her best to get it on the first mix.

And after the first week, you can play DJ yourself and control the WHOLE mix! Whoohoo!!

The countdown to fun begins…

The City of Brotherly Love is being transformed into the City of Sisterly Bootie Shakin’, as the revolution that is Dance Dance Party Party makes it’s way to Philly!

Starting Jan. 6th, 2008 we will be meeting every Sunday @5 - 6:30 pm at The Parlor, which is located at 1170 S. Broad St. (The Ellsworth/Federal stop on the Broad St line). Wear clothes you won’t mind sweating in, and bring $5 to kick to the cause.

So put on your legwarmers, bring your girlfriends who love to dance, and together we’ll get this party started! It’ll be the most fun you’ve had since you were 9…..
