Hey, remember joy? We know it’s been a particular grim winter, but now more than ever we need to experience joy; we need to remember that these streets are ours to enjoy.
We’re Floating in Minneapolis for the first time ever! On Saturday, April 11th, it's time to this city for joy. Minneapolis, it’s Floating Dance Party Time.
What's a “floating dance party”, you ask? It's kind of like 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. We'll meet outdoors at 1 SE Main St., starting at 7:00pm but no later than 7:30pm, for check-in, but from there you’ll take off into the night, and explore the city as the music inspires us.
To everyone else, we'll seem completely silent, but with our headphones on and the groove in your soul, all the world will become an endless surreal dancefloor, the mild-mannered will become fearless superstars, and the night will be ours. You will experience the city in entirely new ways. The power of the FLOAT will swell within you, and you’ll give yourself entirely to the dance in a way you never dreamed was possible. It’s time to dance everywhere.
What is Float: What The Float is a one-of-a-kind immersive adventure. Explore Minneapolis 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, and once we’re gathered at the rendezvous point, we'll all dance away together into the night. Expect the event to last about three hours, with two intermissions. Please join us promptly at 7:00pm if you do not want to be left behind. More info available at WhatTheFloat.com.
The fine print: COVID (still, STILL) isn't over. 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.
