Hi. Missed you. Let’s Float. Our 2026 season begins with Little Float Peep April 18th-26th in Bushwick. Our opener has been immaculately crafted by Sasha Hawkins and Kelby Strobel, with the ultimate sondtrack courtesy of Erez Levin, Liv Dituro, as well as Sasha & Kelby themselves. Early waves area led by Sasha each night, except on the 25th, which will be led by Molly Jane. All second waves led by Erez.

If you’d like to plan ahead for the next seven months, you can buy a season pass here. You’ll lock in the lowest possible price and guarantee a ticket for one night of each of this year’s all new Floating Dance Parties. Group package deals are back on the menu as well: buy ten or more tickets to one event, and you’ll also get each ticket at the lowest possible price. To buy group tickets to an announced or future event, fill out our contact form or email us directly at float@whatthefloat.com. General sales begin Thursday at 5:00pm.

Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? Let us explain a little.

Each night, you’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service throughout the night. Expect the event to last about three hours, with two intermissions at bars (one of which is cash only), as well as an afterparty with live DJs and kitchen service. Check-in only runs thirty minutes, so do not delay! If you are late you may be left behind and may not be able to catch up.

The fine print: The horrors persist, so all tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice; if you are in any way concerned about your well-being, we would very much prefer you stayed home. Just let us know so we let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out. This is an age 21+ only event.

Float is a place for you to feel your best. Living your life, moving your body, celebrating yourself. We walk and dance and frolic and vibe. The event is yours to do with what you will! We'll take care of everything, you just Float Like No One Is Watching.

The highly anticipated return of Sylwia Dudzinska brings with it an homage to dance itself. Expect the unexpected as Syl leads us through an amazing exploration of global dance styles, across the dance capitol of the world: West Hollywood. (Yes- we're finally back!)

Our two to tango your tunes this month are none other than Daddy Disco Reed Kneski and Connor YOHO. This perfect combo of cutie checks all the boxes; Their diverse mixes will boogie your booties in every way possible!

TO OUR NEW FRIENDS:

What The Float is a roaming silent disco dance party. We walk and dance out around the neighborhood listening to music in the provided special headphones. The music matches our surroundings in real time, so it's part dance party, part curated adventure!

We facilitate safe spaces for our community members to celebrate themselves, explore their city, and above all: experience JOY. (Remember joy?!) All are welcome. Dance it alllll out, or just walk along and vibe: the night is yours! Have your own journey, or party with friends. Just don't miss it, because these are the nights to remember.

TO HAVE THE MOST FUN:

• Arrive as early as 7:30 to meet the community and enjoy some delicious bevvies. But the adventure begins and WE DEPART AT 8:30, so don't be late! WE MEAN IT THIS TIME!

• Sensible shoes are required! Flat and closed-toe are musts, and sneakers are best. Lewks appreciated, but optional! Wear whatever best enables your movement and makes you feel awesome.

• You can expect the night to end around 11:00 pm, two blocks from where it started.

(Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? That's understandable! You're so brave! It's beyond worth it; Let us explain.)

The fine print:

This is an age 21+ only event. All tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice. COVID and various other horrors persist, and if you are in any way concerned about your health, we would very much prefer you stayed home! You DO NOT need to buy the event insurance, just let us know so we can let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out!

Hey, DC! Long time, no see…

The world's first silent disco dance adventure makes its highly anticipated return to our nation's capitol. DC, it’s Floating Dance Party Time (again).

What's a “floating dance party,” you ask? It's a dance club, except without walls, borders, or limits. It's mind-expanding, heart-pumping, booty-shaking glory. It's all the best parts of dancing on your own or being part of a giant rave, with none of the downsides of either. It's FLOAT. 

Float is a one-of-a-kind dance party meets curated adventure. We travel out around the neighborhood, guided by music in the provided special headphones, with a break to refuel along the way. 

Explore DC in a synchronous groove odyssey with the music pulsed directly into your brain but silent to any observers. Simultaneously the city’s most private dance party and its most public spectacle, we'll lead you not just on a journey through the city's wide open spaces and hidden nooks, but also through the inner reaches of your own freshly liberated soul. Dance where you've never dreamed of dancing before. Reclaim your home.

The night is designed to be whatever you need it to be: You can dance it all out, or just walk along and vibe. Have your own journey, or party with friends. Just don't miss it, because these are the nights to remember.

All are welcome. We facilitate safe spaces for our community members to celebrate themselves, explore their city, and above all: experience JOY. (Remember joy??)

TO HAVE THE MOST FUN:

• Arrive as early as 7:30 pm, but no later than 8:00pm, to check-in, meet the community, and enjoy some bevvies. But the music begins and WE DEPART AT 8:30, so don't be late! We’ll take off into the night, and explore the city as the music inspires us. You can expect the night to end around 11:00 pm, within easy walking distance of where it began.

• Please let us know if you need a discount code to attend. We will never allow capitalism to stand in the way of your joy.

• Sensible shoes are required! Flat and closed-toe are musts, and sneakers are best. Lewks appreciated, but optional! Wear whatever best enables your movement and makes you feel awesome. We also recommend you carry as little as possible for ease of movement. Break out those fanny packs, babes!

What The Float: DC is organized and led by Mary Ann Pianka, with powerhouse mixes from DJ ColEco.
