We are all the way back y’all! We had an amazing first month of Floating Dance Parties, and now we're taking you somewhere Float has never been before: New Jersey. Brace yourselves, you're going to have to take a fifteen minute ride on the PATH train for this one.
We're expanding beyond last year's extremely limited groups. You’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service, throughout the night and you'll have regular access to bars and bathrooms. Expect the event to last about two and half hours, but we'll keep the party going at a live DJ'd afterparty at a private yard and house with refreshments til 3:00am. No-questions-asked refunds will be available up until your start time. This month, What The Float is created by Gaby Ripoll, with music provided by Brian Weitz, Siobhán Ní Chiobháin, and Gaby. Float is led by Siobhan on July 2nd, and Gaby on July 3rd and 4th. Read a new reaction to our events here. RSVP is available on Facebook.
We recently had a chat with Apartment Therapy about figuring out how to maintain safe events under COVID. Given the current guidelines, our plan moving forward is to allow anyone fully vaccinated (who can demonstrate it with a photo of their vax card or the card itself, along with a matching ID) to Float without a mask. We'll be outside with plenty of space to distance, so those who remain masked, for whatever reason, can keep a comfortable distance if they so choose. Even if you are fully vaccinated, the state of NJ presently requires EVERYONE TO BE MASKED WHILE INDOORS. If you'd prefer to attend a universally masked Float, let us know! If there's sufficient demand, we'd be more than happy to accommodate y'all.
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 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. 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. 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. On weekends, the PATH train runs every every 30 minutes from Herald Square, World Trade Center and points between. Check-in is only thirty minutes, and so please do try to catch the appropriate train, so you don’t get left behind. In New Jersey. More on what our events looked like pre-COVID at WhatTheFloat.com.
The small print:
This is an age 21+ only event. 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. By purchasing a ticket you are affirming this liability waiver. Without proof of full vaccination, masks will be required.
