Eight years strong, and our beats, our moves, our community has never felt more alive. Introducing YEAR 8: Dance UNBOUND, a tribute to our unwavering spirit and a toast to the many grooves ahead. On September 4th, we invite you to a celebration of movement, of freedom, and of our collective soul. Here, every moment is an affirmation, every song a call to come alive and embody our truths.

The iconic Promontory, our home space for the last 8 years, will light up with the mastery of our Party Noire DJs: k.tea, Diaspora, Rae Chardonnay, and guest talents DJs Khali Melon, AJ + ctrlzora. This is our love letter to Black queer dance, an echo of our history, our present, and the future we're shaping.
