Hey guys, I just wanted to update you on scheduling the next event. As I mentioned to some of you at the last dance party, 440 Studios has very limited ability and no longer has a suitable space for us on any weeknight (at a decent time) except Friday, which isn’t really ideal. Apparently I just got lucky getting it for a few Thursdays and a regular class is now resuming that has priority booking (grrrrr!). Weeknights seems to work much better for everyone than Sundays (as we were previously scheduling), so I’m trying to find a new location for around the same price. Being New York, there’s only so many affordable options. However, I’m going to go check out a promising location today. Long story short, I hope to have something figured out within the next few days and get a dance party scheduled next Thursday (1/19) or, at the very latest, the Thursday after that (1/26). I apologize for the delay and will update the blog just as soon as I get something figured out. Cheers!

Hilary Cole clawed her way out of a small Missouri town and to The Big Apple by working such jobs as "Aviation History Museum Tour Guide" and "Shooting and Reloading Equipment Sales Assistant." She's spent the last few years in New York slogging through film school and working in private investigation (think Jake Gittes with considerably less charisma and glued to a computer). Coordination and grace are foreign concepts for Hilary, but that doesn't keep her from bustin' a move every chance she gets!
Dana and Dance Dance go way back. Lady Gaga had not even met her first disco stick when Dana met DDPP, and it's been a wild romcom affair ever since. When not obsessing over a playlist, Dana is often developing websites, reading short stories, nurturing her deep appreciation of flavored lip gloss, and wondering what Jon Stewart would do. He would probably take a dance break and have some dark chocolate, right? Right.
Kimberly, along with Dana, became a DDPP organizer in April 2009 but her dance roots go all the way back to the days before the New Kids tried that whole NKOTB thing. She is studying filmmaking, and if you see her out sometime you should buy her a drink and ask her about the time George Lucas broke her sister's chair. You should also say, "Hey! We're in Florida!" because she is currently located there and if you run into her that is where you will likely be. She is still, however, in a New York state of mind, even while she gets DDPP Orlando off the ground.
