Hello, New York. It’s that time at last. This May, we begin again with three weekends of adventures. Hakuna Floatata, what a wonderful phrase.
Things won’t quite be back to the way they were, but we’re expanding beyond last year’s more limited experiences. We still won’t be beginning and ending our nights in a bar like in the before times, but we’ll have stops for you to use the bathroom or grab a drink if you desire. You’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service. We’ll be returning to the Financial District for the first time since 2018, but the precise location will only be released to ticket buyers, so make sure to let your inbox’s filter knows that float@whatthefloat.com isn’t spam. Expect the event to last about two and half hours, with no afterparties yet. No-questions-asked refunds will be available up until your start time. Hakuna Floatata is led by Kevin Riddagh at 8:00pm and led by Katia Koziara at 9:00pm, with music provided by Kevin Riddagh, Michael Nash, and Trevor Cushman.
COVID isn't over yet. We’re monitoring the ever-updating public health recommendations, but even if you are two weeks past your final vaccine dose, please expect to keep your face covered and your body six feet from others for everyone's peace of mind and safety. As more of New York gets vaccinated, we get to keep doing this bigger and better. RSVP available on Facebook. Read a new reaction to our events here.
What is Float:
What The Float is a one-of-a-kind immersive dance party adventure and the only naturally socially distant dance party in the city. Explore New York in a synchronous groove odyssey - six feet away from everybody else - 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. Dance where you've never dreamed of dancing before. Take a two hour journey through the hidden beauty of both New York City and your own freshly liberated soul. Join us the third and fourth weekend of every month for new dance jams, new dance spots, and new dance friends.
How to Float:
Dress to be true to you. Wear comfortable shoes in which you can dance and run and climb and jump. Please bring as little as possible, as Floatcheck space is limited. Use the bathroom before you arrive, because you will not have another opportunity until we reach our intermission stop. We'll equip you with glowing headsets, and lead you on the dance party adventure of a lifetime.
Please join us promptly at your start time if you do not want to be left behind. Check-in is only fifteen minutes, and we want to keep things moving as quickly as possible. If you are late you may be left behind and might not be able to catch up. More on what our events looked like pre-COVID on this very website.
The small print:
This is an age 21+ only event. Yes we are still doing mandatory facial covering and physical distancing for everyone, yes even if you're vaccinated. 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 extremely small and they will sell out. This is an age 21+ only event. By purchasing a ticket you are affirming this liability waiver.
