Jane Chittick, 52, gathers with six of her childhood friends once a year for an all-girl slumber-party weekend.

As the throbbing beats thrust upon the walls of the cavernous dance studio, Ice Cube begs the five girls to “get your ass up in her.” One of the dancers expresses skepticism over pretending to slap said body part of another girl. The director offers her reassurance that “there’s not going to be any contact.” High-pitched peals of laughter soon drown out the music. These...
