When I was in college, a sorority sister and I came up with the idea for what we called "sweatpants clubbing."
The idea behind sweatpants clubbing was simple. Clubbing is fun, because dancing and generally being foolish to pop and hip hop music is fun. But there are a few parts of clubbing that are not fun. They are:
1) Wearing heels and hurting your feet
2) Wearing some kind of cute outfit that ends up riding up or falling down or boobs popping out or bra straps showing or SO TIGHT NEED AIR or the myriad other things that can go wrong when you try to look nice (just me?).
3) Gross guys coming up behind you and trying to sketch all up in your business when all you want to do is jam out
4) See #3. It bears repeating how annoying this is.
5) Cover charges, yuck
6) Drinks are expensive
Sweatpants clubbing, you see, gets rid of all of these problems. Sweatpants clubbing is girls only, so there are no creepsters. It is completely free, as it takes place in the basement of our sorority house, and you wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Hence, the sweatpants. You can drink whatever you want to, or not drink at all.
It was glorious. But that was then, and this is now, and I don't have a sorority house basement in to host sweatpants clubbing anymore.
Until I discovered this: Dance Dance Party Party
DDPP is where a group of women get together and dance for an hour or so. That's it. There are only 3 rules to DDPP:
1) No boys
2) No booze
3) No judgment
They recommend that you wear workout clothes since you'll get sweaty, and they seem to mean it when they say "no judgment" which means you can bust out your best (or worst) moves and no one will care.
There's one in New York and I am kind of dying to try this. Sweatpants clubbing returns! I can't wait.

Ummm YES! I'm in. Let's go.
Wait, this is a real thing? I feel as if my life's purpose has just crystallized before my eyes.
Um, I need to coordinate my next visit around this. Sounds like so much fun!!
My god, someone stole my idea! On my old blog I wrote about how I'd like to have a club where only girls went, where they could dance like mad, wear what they wanted and not worry about being hit on by guys. This sounds practically identical. :-) And absolutely AMAZING!
GENIUS. You have to go and experience it and give us a full report. It sounds amazing!
But can you drink while you work out? The million dollar question...
