Dance Party USA is an American television show that aired on cable's USA Network from April 12, 1986, to June 27, 1992. It was originally a half-hour, but proved so popular with young viewers that it was expanded to an hour in 1987.

The program was shot live to tape in Philadelphia, PA. David Raymond, the original and first Philly Phanatic, was the show's first adult host. Andy Gury was the show's adult host for most of the show's run, with a few of the most popular "Regulars" standing in as "kid-hosts" towards the final months.[citation needed]

The series was based on a local program on Philadelphia's WPHL-TV, Dancin' On Air'"
