About this event
HOW A MOBILE (DECENTRALIZED) DANCE PARTY WORKS:
You carry a boombox and the DJ has an FM radio transmitter. All the boomboxes are tuned into the DJ’s master FM broadcast, resulting in a mobile, synchronized sound system that has no Central audio source and no Central location.
This Open-Source Party roams the night, generating complete awesomeness, street by street and block by block, onto buses and subways, into public fountains and beyond. Together, we create an infectious epidemic of fun. A roaming Party adventure that lasts all night long!
Over the past decade, we’ve hosted over 100 of these Parties worldwide and our Capital-P Party philosophy has inspired many to spring up independently. Check out our Party Manifesto to learn more about the Party Revolution! https://tinyurl.com/4mswcyz5

WHY NEW YORK?
Beyond Partying, “Decentralization” is an Unstoppable Technocultural Reformation with the power to unify and elevate all humanity. For reals.
And since the dawn of the blockchain, the DDP has been championing Open-Source values and fighting to ensure that this Revolution is promoted as an “Acceptance Movement” (not a Resistance) and a Party to which everyone is invited!
On the dance floor, it's easy to approach each other with Pure Hearts and Positive Intentions. We’re hoping this Party will serve as a catalyst for community and conversation and exemplify what a Decentralized future might not only look, but FEEL like!
Metaversal, preeminent purveyors of the Open Metaverse resonate with this vision and invited us to NY to help create a daytime GigaParade for the massive NFT NYC festival and we figured that the Party should continue on into the night as well. Both Parties are a gift to the community and 100% Free and Open to anyone who wants to join 🙂
We seek to create spaces free of politics, division and struggle. Sacred moments in space and time to be One people on One planet. From there, we can do anything!

THE THEME: Open-Source / Open Hearts
Much like Open-Source software, a DDP is a peer-produced, collaborative undertaking. Everyone pools their talents and energies to create and refine an ever-evolving manifestation of their hearts’ desires.
And so!
This Party is all about creating and sharing as many unique and fun elements as possible- costumes, props, vehicles, projectors, lights, sounds, smells, dance routines, etc. We want everyone to bring their own innovative persona to the Party, to see what manifests when a Decentralized community of diverse minds comes together to Party. The only rule is: get as crazy and elaborate as possible.
This vision is fully articulated in our PARTY MANIFESTO: https://tinyurl.com/4mswcyz5
ALL-AGES!
DDPs are hosted exclusively in public spaces and we take great pride in creating the most inclusive Parties possible. EVERYONE, of every AGE, BACKGROUND and STYLE is 100% welcome and will be accepted with open arms and high-fives.
People show up to DDPs with their kids and parents all the time. Homeless people join in wherever we go. Even the police participate sometimes. It’s all good. The more diversity the better.
In a time when much of the world is polarized and divided, “Capital-P Partying” represents a rare Common Goal that can instantly unite everyone it encounters.
Music is the universal human language, dancing is the universal human movement, and Partying is the Universal Human Identity!

ALCOHOL:

RESPECT:
When we are Partying, be respectful of people and property and please don’t litter. We have worked hard to build a good name for ourselves and the DDP.
And we’ve also maintained a good rapport with police forces around the world and because of this they have always helped us out and allowed everyone to have a good time. It is essential that we maintain these things if we want to continue to do these Parties. SPREAD THE WORD.
