Dance Party is a 1965 album released by American Motown and soul girl group Martha and the Vandellas on the Gordy (Motown) label. The album was the group's third and much like The Miracles' Mickey's Monkey album mainly consisted of dance tunes. Among the singles featured on the album include their 1964 landmark single, "Dancing in the Street", their follow-up smash, "Nowhere to Run", the hit, "Wild One", and the famous b-side, "Motoring". The album was mostly produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson with several nods from Holland-Dozier-Holland.
The album was re-released in 2009 by SpeakersCornerRecords for the 50th anniversary of Motown.

Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or party:
“The gentlemen [at a ball], as they passed and repassed, looked as if they thought we were quite at their disposal, and only waiting for the honour of their commands; and they sauntered about, in a careless indolent manner, as if with a view to keep us in suspense.... I thought it so provoking, that I determined in my own mind that, far from humouring such airs, I would rather not dance at all.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Such is the human race. Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
