you’re invited to wear whatever you feel most comfortable dancing in! usually, dancers come in workout or movement clothes, with socks or sneakers as footwear.

yourself.

and a water bottle. stay hydrated!

nope.

but if you do, you get a discount!

there are none! that’s the beauty of ddpp. your dance squad – a group of volunteers who run this thang – will give you a spiel up top and then you’re free to use the space as you please.

it may feel awkward at first, but that goes away after the first few songs.

the real question is “what music do you play?”

each ddpp™ playlist is different because each session features a different guest dj. it’s a great way to dance to your all-time faves and discover new tracks to add to your personal rotation!

after you’ve attended one event, you can volunteer to create a playlist and become a guest dj.

ddpp™ does not censor playlists. we understand this may impact your decision to share the experience with your children. we generally don’t recommend it for those under 10.

if you plan to bring your party to a regularly scheduled ddpp session, be sure (1) you srsvp, and (2) confirm that your guests will be comfortable with our “no talking” policy.

if you’d like to organize a private event with ddpp, reach out to our dance squad to ask about availability and rates.

ddpp™ was founded by two women who were seeking a fun, free environment where they didn’t have to worry about impressing anyone except themselves. originally, the space was designed for women only.

since then, we have changed our terminology to include trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people.

we do occasionally host “dance dance every body” sessions that are inclusive of all gender identities. check in with our dance squad to request further information.

absolutely not.

we get tons of people who “can’t dance” and by the third song they’re tearing it up because they’ve stopped caring. 

this is a judgement-free zone. that means no judgement of others – and no judgement of yourself.
