We spend a good chunk of our free time in the club with DJs, which is frankly dreadful, yet we endure it because of our life's work of Dance Parties. Much more enticing are those impromptu jumpoffs held in someone's living room or in less likely places, such as an elevator or a Blimpie's. Buraka Som Sistema's new video does a lot to liberate the dance party, but takes it one step further by adding ornate costumes and creative lighting. Take a cue from their spontaneous kuduro rave: You can lace up in elaborate feather headdresses or Rob and Fab's old spandex, flick on a couple of flashlights, light a bonfire and Boom! instant party, whether you're in a storage room, on a boat, working the docks or in starring a high school production of "The Music Man."
