A rhythmic young Madonna once won the empathy of footloose women everywhere when she belted out, “Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free-ee.” If, at night, you lock the door so no one else can see-ee, consider joining Dance Dance Party Party instead. Glennis McMurray and Marcy Girt’s only rules for this come-as-you-are, exercise-oriented jam are ”No booze. No men. Leg warmers optional.” Every Sunday afternoon, a ragtag harem sweats to the beats of one lucky lady’s prepared iPod mix. Then, after the dance fever subsides, they split the rental price of the studio (typically $6 each) and go home. Come on, Flashdancers: “Take your passion, and make it happen.” For more information, visit dancedancepartyparty.com —Jane Borden
