Dress up in clothing inspired by the era, and dance like there's no tomorrow!
 

DJ Action Slacks hosts her very FIRST dance party featuring entirely 1950s music! Featuring ferocious, flirtatious, frolicking, and frisky 45 rpm records for your dancing pleasure!
 

R&B, early rock n roll, Latin, rockabilly, tropical, doo wop, and campy pop records from the 1950s. Familiar favorites with fun rarities! Wanda Jackson, Caterina Vallente, Little Willie John, LaVern Baker, Yma Sumac, Chuck Berry, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, the Bobbettes, & so many others!
 

Have an ATOMIC BLAST on the dance floor!

In these turbulent times, it might be a good idea to take inspiration from the people of mid-century America - The Original Atomic Age.
 

How did they deal with their feelings? Mostly they danced about it. They danced, and danced, and danced and danced. They invented so many whimsical dance steps until they had danced the worry right out of them!
 

So won't you please set aside your cares for a night, and join us for an Atomic Age-"Oldies" Party.

December's Flame is Peppermint Twist
A swingin' affair you shouldn't miss
Adorn yourself in holiday cheers
And dance amongst the glitzy queers

It's been many MANY years since we first kicked off the Portland holiday season with my Peppermint Twist Holiday Dance Party.  This was long before so many of the complex modern/retro challenges we're grappling with today.

I thought it might be nice to roll things back for one night to try to remember what JOY and community connection felt like back then (as well as today).

So we gather once again in love, joy, & appreciation of the diversity of our LGBTQ family INCLUDING our allies. 

Join your host DJ Action Slacks jingle her way through vintage 1960s vinyl: soul, Motown, oldies, Northern Soul, pop, Latin, garage rock & holiday delights. Rarities & some familiar favorites!

And PRIZES for some lucky guests who display the most seasonal spirit!
