DJ Breakfast Princess AKA Squad Member Devan slayed it for the new year

Your friendly neighborhood den mothers are hard at work making sure that we can bring DDPP back as safely as possible without having to sacrifice the things we love about our dance parties.

We are targeting to be back LIVE after Labor Day 2021 – likely in a new space!

Stay tuned for more information. We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to be together again!

During this time, we will use our platform to amplify black voices.

Off of social media, we will take this time to listen, unlearn, and reflect on ways we can improve DDPPLA to be a welcoming space for ALL womxn and non-binary folx.

• The link will be open 10 minute prior to the listed time if you have any questions or trouble. Please be on time!
• Dancing will start at 5 after the hour
• Mute your audio when you arrive
• A host will give some brief instructions and then a 3-2-1 countdown for you to hit play on your playlist!
• Dance your quarantined heart out!

Stay safe and healthy!

We know that you may be worried about participating in social events during the COVID 19 outbreak.
Currently, the LA County Department of Health has not recommended the cancelation of public events, though they do advise people to practice good public health hygiene.

We wanted to share the following tips and precautions for dancers:
1. Please wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
2. There will be hand sanitizer on site to refresh your hands between songs.
3. If you are feeling ill or under the weather please sit this one out.

We are doing our best to be safely social in the face of this virus.
Hope to see you this Sunday
