We’ve Got the Dance Virus

While everyone else is worrying about a certain H1N1, we’ve got our own super-dangerous strain of Dance Fever going on. Symptoms include: lots of sweat, feelings of exhilaration, and moves that can look a little like this:

Luckily, the ladies at class tonight were professionals, and knew how to handle the outbreak of grooves [...]

Ending the Year in Style!

Well ladies, we only have two months left in 2009, and boy have the months flown! They’ve gone by so quickly, in fact, that a milestone is upon us…that’s right, November 12th will mark DDPP TC’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!
So prepare yourself…there will be prizes, baked goods, and yours truly will be spinning our [...]

We will Survive!

Despite technical difficulties, the ladies of DDPP Twin Cities brought the funk once more. They kept the music blaring and the hips a shakin’ all the way through this rocking mix. Thanks for your patience ladies!!! Here’s the mix brought to you by DJ G Funk.
1. Creator – Santogold
2. Fresh Air – [...]

The Director’s (un)Cut Mix

It’s been a busy time here at DDPP. Your den mother, having relaxed and enjoyed the three weeks of new DJs, found herself returning to the DJ booth this past Thursday. As always, she had a mix ready. Unfortunately, she didn’t quite think that this mix was ready for the primetime yet. [...]

Wake Up with DJ Buzz!

Okay, even though it wasn’t 5am, the crew seemed a little groggy as they walked in Thursday night. Your den mother was no exception. Luckily, Kari, aka DJ Buzz came to the rescue and perked us up more than an IV of Jolt cola!

Before the mix, DJ Buzz apologized for scraping the “bottom [...]

Months in the Making

A long time ago, your den mother was once just a groove-bustin’ dancer at DDPP Chicago. Although I loved to dance, I was too shy and/or scared to DJ myself. Finally, after about eight months on the dance floor, I finally busted out a mix (full of international music), and DJ Import–soon to [...]

Mix Tapes and Cupcakes!

It was a dark and stormy night this past Thursday, and a good portion of us dancers arrived soaked to the bone. Luckily, DDPP provided the perfect environment to warm our souls and dry our socks.
A week before, one of our newest ladies, Kel-c, asked if she could make a mix tape [...]

The Contra-Positive of Sedated

I was talking with a friend of mine who was a math major, and he used the term “contra-positive”. Huh? “It means negative.”
Well, the title of DJ Reaction’s first song was definitely the contra-positive of what transgressed Thursday night. Our small but devoted dance crew brought it, no matter what [...]

Lightning Never Strikes Twice…

…but DJ Jazzy Jenn struck us a third time with another awesome dance mix! We may not have had our hair stand up, but the tunes blaring onto the dance floor were definitely electrifying! From indie rock to the Beatles to a little bit of Miley Cyrus, we were stomping the floor so [...]

DJ Lux Shows Us the Light

What a treat to have DJ Cacophony–now to be known as DJ Lux–back in the DJ booth! Thursday night she reworked her magic with a mix chock full of oldies from decades past and great dance hits from DDPPs of yore. Of course, she stitched it all together with awesome new songs, some [...]
