Dance Party is a 1965 studio 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. The singles featured on the album were their 1964 landmark single, "Dancing in the Street", their follow-up smash, "Wild One", and the hit "Nowhere to Run" and its b-side, "Motoring". The album was mostly produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson with several nods from Holland–Dozier–Holland. The album became their second charting album on the Billboard 200. Despite scoring three top 40 singles on the project, the album only went as high as number 139, where it peaked on May 29, 1965, staying on the chart for just three weeks, two weeks lower than their 1963 album, Heat Wave.
