Every third Friday of each month, a group of ladies (some strangers, some friends) gets together to dance for an hour to a booty-shaking playlist created by one of the attendees. Akron hosts one of the many chapters of the female-only cult phenomenon known as Dance Dance Party Party™ (DDPP™). Unlike typical workout or dance classes, Dance Dance Party Party™ has no instructors, no fitness goals, an
d nothing to prove. The set-up is simple: an hour of booty-busting tunes, a dance studio or other room with the lights turned low, and women/young ladies/little girls willing to let go. Attendees can sign up to “Guest DJ” by creating a custom mp3 playlist. Anything and everything goes from Broadway to hip-hop to 80’s hits (along with a warm-up song at the start and a cool-down song at the end); 15 or so songs that will get everyone up and moving. Ladies are encouraged not only to DJ but to give themselves a killer DJ name. (Favorites include DJ Tanner and DJ Roy G Biv DeVoe.)
