Dance Mix Of The Day: Body Jam

Posted on
11 Mar 2013

I’m not sure how things work in other cities, but DC is a huge fan of melt-your-face make-you-sweat pants-off-dance-off’s.  Sadly, two of DC’s dearest dance parties, Fatback* and Liberation Dance Party have recently passed.  The good news is that the ever-inspiring DC bar the Looking Glass has stepped up to the plate with their Body Jam nights.  The concept results in mix tracks that combine R&B, funk, soul, and … 70s/80s workout vids for the win.  

Try it out and burn some calories at work with the notorious and ever popular office-chair-head-bob.

*The origins of the name Fatback are hotly contested. My favorite theory has to do with the opportunity for participants to literally dance the fat off their back during one of the epic soul  jam dance sessions.
