"Dance Party" was 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 was considered a concept album of dance tracks. Among the singles featured on the album include their 1964 landmark single, "Dancing in the Street", their massive follow-up smash, "Nowhere to Run", the hit, "Wild One", a remake of their earlier song, "There He Is (At My Door)" that has since become a favorite for Motown fans, and the famous b-side, "Motoring". The album was mostly produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson with several nods from Holland-Dozier-Holland.
