DDPP BTV is: A safe & comfortable place for women (and those who identify as such) to come together in a alcohol and smoke free zone to dance and have fun!
Begun in 2006, DDPP™ is the creation of New York City residents Glennis McMurray and Marcy Girt. The two friends loved dancing at the clubs with gal pals, but loathed cover charges, getting hit on and reeking of alcohol and ci******es the next day. The set-up is simple: an hour (or two or three) of booty-busting tunes, a dance studio or other room with the lights turned low, and women willing to l
et go. Although McMurray and Girt began the class on a whim, they found it struck an unexpected chord. “DDPP started as a way to work out and have fun without the conformity of a gym – how often have you heard your favorite song while you’re on the treadmill and wanted to hop off to do a real running man?” said McMurray. “But it has morphed into this amazing revolution of sorts where women come to find that little girl inside us all who just wants to have fun!”
Through word of mouth alone, DDPP™ chapters have cropped up all over the USA and internationally. Women around the world are responding to this liberating atmosphere where they are free to goof around, shake their bodies without objectification and feel good about who they are. The Burlington, Vermont chapter of DDPP began when Laura Hale saw the idea and just knew we needed that here! Her friends Julia Curry and Michelle Wiederman strongly agreed and the three convened to form the first DDPP group in Burlington. All female and female identified people from ages 10 and up are welcomed to come and have fun! Now let's get dancing!!!
