Bird is the Word…

Posted on June 15, 2012 by dancedancepartypartychicago

….And the word is HALF GAY!

We had an amazing class on Wednesday DJ’ed by one of our veteran DDPP’ers DJ AWOL!

She warned us that her mix was “a little gay” and we were happier than a rainbow on a beautiful day during GAY PRIDE MONTH to dance our fairy asses off!

A generous dose of realness was required in that hot-as-an-oven studio as we flitted and flopped to some serious power jams. Who needs A/C when you have a room full of lovely revelers committed to working out all of the stresses of the day with 14 of their friends?

I couldn’t help but think of the annoying yet catchy Family Guy spoof of “Bird is the Word” where our favorite deadbead Dad obsesses over this song in his own chubby way:

Here is the playlist, y’all!

HAPPY PRIDE TO ALL!

Your Den Mothers

Kelly Peraino

Her response to an interview question for the Little Miss Pageant in 1983 about what she wanted to be when she grew up? "Wonder Woman." Her instinctual reply when you ask her how she's feeling that day? "Pahtyin'!" One of the best things she does all week? "DDPP." Kelly Peraino. Dancer, heroine, pahtier.

Catherine Carrigan

A shooting star leaping through the skies like a tiger defying the laws of gravity. An American aquarium drinker. Gifted, all natural and burstin' the seams. Can't - can't - can't - can't control her feet. Wants to see movies of her dreams. Wants to live with common people like you.

Danielle Holtz

DJ Hotdish was raised in the land of 10,000 lakes. She enjoys a good cup of coffee, long bike rides, suspenseful fiction, and shaking it on the dance floor. In the words of Maurice Sendak, "Let the wild rumpus start!"

Amy Kelley

By day, Amy is a 3rd grade teacher. By afternoon/ evening/ night (and sometimes even at school), she is a dancing machine! Formerly DJ Muzak, now and forever DJ Sex Frosting, Amy has been known to crawl around the dance floor on all fours acting like anything from an alley cat to a she-wolf, and even danced her way into a Kid Sister video- making her officially big n' bad like Tom Hanks and MJ.

Unity Ostercamp

By day is a college admin, by afternoon- wanna be fashion advice giver, period piece movie lovah (Jane Austen 4 eva yo!), Chocoholic (yep it is making her fat), dancer in the dark (oh & in the light), & vat of useless data/pop culture. DJ U.N.I.T.Y. (who you calling a bitch?!?!?!)

Allison Wolcott

Allison (aka DJ AWOL) entered the world in a grand jeté and has not yet stopped boogeying down. She writes, she sings...she's better than Cats. Except real cats. Real cats win every time.

Co-Founder and Den Mother Emeritus: Jenn Martin
Jenn Martin can be found doing just about anything. With a background in psychology, construction, non-profit, arts, urban planning, & real estate, it's nobody's guess what she will be doing next year, even next month. Her number one passion: traveling the world. Her main squeeze goes by the name: Bones, her favorite day: Halloween, and her favorite junk food: gummy bears and cheese fries (but not together because the sweet & salty combo is a no go). Coming from a Gemini, this is quite funny. Her music is eclectic, as is her dance background (she's taken just about every dance class imaginable). One of her fav songs: Apeman, by the Kinks.

Co-Founder and Den Mother Emeritus: Jenn Brandel
Prior to her multiple personality reintegration, Jenn Brandel lived lives as an IQ test developer in Quebec, a grape farmer in Tasmania, and low-low-powered movie producer in LA. Currently she finds herself mostly in Chicago and mostly as independent producer for public radio. She has an acute fear of commitment except for all things DDPP. Her dance moves have yet to be classified - as they straddle the line between graceful and seizure. She wants quite sincerely to win at life, but is still a bit foggy about what that actually means (and entails). For now - she'll settle for all-time champion of Connect 4.

Den Mother Emeritus: Kelley Clink
With a booty that won't quit and a brain averse to choreography, Kelley Clink once left a hip hop dance class in tears. Thankfully she discovered DDPP, and ever since then all her eye watering can be attributed to joy.
