The Eve of New Year’s Eve - SWEETS BALLROOM becomes the re-entry point for all those grooveless individuals that the club scene left as disincarnates. Here, souls will no longer wander the empty, meaningless nights of clubland nullibiety, but descend like angels at the crossing. On the precipce of 2016, our hallowed halls become a place where an ecstatic threshold of light and sound galvanizes people into the world of the subconscious, tapping into the realm of Possibility and the unforeseen expression of the self: Dancers form human filigree as vexed vexillologists watch with arched eyebrows the freely unfurling of freak flags...unfettered by conventions of self consciousness.

Beneath the subconscious (and feet) a substratum of bassbins give loft to a thousand dance moves and the terrain becomes wildly unfamiliar. Individuals become lost in the retribalization of their spirit where everything is sacred, and nothing is forbidden (well, dance moves anyway).

And with THAT, please consider yourself supremely invited to peak your freak and join us for an evening of sublime escape into whackingly good melodies, super vibey people and whumpin’ sound on a big ‘ol wooden dance floor.

AND DON'T FORGET: WEAR ALL WHITE as we flood the floor with a deep hazy swirl of incandescent purples and blues, where dancers glow in an electric arc of vibrating white!

In the Zeitgeist that frames our era, our ethos is the “NOW” of change and revolution, and for us, it begins on the dancefloor…

Cost: $15
