On August 26th, it's time to Float! Come reclaim your city and dance how (and where) you've never danced before. This summer's just getting started.
We'll meet at Heart & Dagger Saloon at 8:00pm for check-in and drinks, but from there we’ll explore the night and the city as the music inspires us, as Micaela Groman leads you dancing through streets, plazas, parks, and more. The music, mixed by mad Float scientists, will be beamed directly into your brains through our glowing headphones. All you have to do is put them on, and the music will guide you through the city's public spaces and hidden nooks. The power of the FLOAT will swell within you, and you’ll never see the streets of this city the same again.
What is Float: What The Float is a one-of-a-kind immersive adventure and a naturally socially distant dance party. Explore Oakland 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.
How to Float: Dress to be true to you. Wear comfortable shoes in which you can dance and run and climb and jump. We'll equip you with a pair glowing headsets, and the carefully curated music will lead you on a unique adventure through the parks and plazas of the city. Pack lightly, we'll be on the move. Once we’re gathered at the rendezvous point, we'll all dance away together into the night, with stopping at a couple of bars for intermissions along the way. Please join us promptly at 8:00pm if you do not want to be left behind. There should be plenty of room to park in the neighborhood, and we’ll be returning near to where we began at the end of the night. More info available at WhatTheFloat.com.
