DJ D-Nice hosts lit virtual dance party amid quarantine
Michelle Obama, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Ellen Degeneres and others joined the Saturday night fun.
DJ D-Nice is making it safe to party during social distancing—virtually, that is.
The DJ and photographer since Wednesday has been taking to Instagram to host daily virtual dance parties that he calls, “Home School.” Some fans have affectionately dubbed it “Club Quarantine,” according to Oprah Magazine.

With the party’s popularity taking off, D-Nice has had many special celebrity guests throughout the week, including Janet Jackson, John Legend, Common, and Dave Chappelle. But on Saturday, things got even more lit when Michelle Obama, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Ellen Degeneres joined the fun. Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King and Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders made an appearance as well.
Views for Saturday’s Home School dance party reached up to 100,000 live viewers, Oprah Magazine reported, which is not hard with D-Nice spinning tracks by Rihanna, Janet Jackson and more.

“I can’t believe that I started the Home School social distancing dance party just four days ago and it’s become a place for us to virtually dance together and stay connected,” D-Nice wrote on Instagram after the success of his Friday night dance party. “From my kitchen, I’m able to send positive vibrations to each of you. Thank you for rocking with me.”
