The People's Dance Party

Overview

There are plenty of ways to cut a rug — different styles, spots and reasons among them — but the best way is just to hit the dance floor and go for it. That hasn't always been possible over the past two years; however, that's not the only motivation to bust out your fanciest footwork at the The People's Dance Party. The number one reason to head along: because there's nothing like losing yourself to the music.

Losing yourself to dance is firmly the main aim at this inclusive shindig hosted by Bring a Plate. Here, it doesn't matter how you dance — or why. Whichever shapes you choose to make, you'll be showing off your smoothest dance floor movies amid professionals and community performers, with this 75-minute party also including pop-up showcases that just might teach you a thing or two to try out yourself.

It all takes place at Metro Arts' New Benner Theatre, with tickets costing $25 and two parties being held on Saturday, April 2. If your afternoon could use some cutting loose, make a dance floor date at 3.30pm — which'll be a relaxed show with reduced lighting and sound. Or, strut your stuff to start your night at the evening session at 8.30pm.
