What is Fat Dance Party

Fat Dance Party is a free virtual offering for the community. It was started in 2023 by three people who had been in The Fat Freedom Foundation together. We offered a weekly virtual dance party for anyone who identified as fat.

Fat Dance Party was on hiatus for the summer, and started up again in November 2023 with one of the original hosts, a new host, and multiple nights.

Fat Dance Party (US) has an offshoot in Australia.

This is a movement and joy space for all people in larger bodies. All levels of mobility including none are welcome. All types of dance including chair and yoga ball dancing; all genders are welcome; all marginalized and oppressed people are explicitly welcome. This is not a class, there are no leaders, or dance moves, just people enjoying various kinds of music together. The vibe is chill and sometimes silly. Participants are encouraged to come as often as they like, either once, or every week. People are encouraged to offer playlists for the dances if they so choose. 

We attempt to offer a variety of music from multiple decades and multiple kinds of music, but there is a heavy emphasis on well known dance hits from the United States.

Friday nights at 9 PM and Sunday nights at 8 PM

Eastern time

We also welcome fur friends/pets and babies.
