For one hour, time isn't real.
Lunch Break Dance Party is a sixty-minute dance party in the middle of the workday, four minutes from Kendall/MIT. The first one, on October 8th, was packed.

What it is
Noon to one. Roughly.
Doors open at 11:45. At noon, something strange begins: guests who opted in received one small, secret instruction by text that morning, shared with a group of strangers they have never met. At 12:15 the room goes dark. Then it is loud until 1:00, with a DJ, audio-responsive projections and an unannounced guest performer. Everyone is back to their day by 1:05.
It is built for people who come alone, people new to the city, and anyone who wants to try something new on a workday. You do not have to be good at this.

What people said
It's refreshing to be invited to something where you're not really sure what's gonna go down. Everything's so scripted these days.
They'll have somewhere besides the sandwich shop to go: a dance party.
My life's work is bringing people together from all these different worlds and thinking, 'How do we live a life that's a lot more alive and exciting?'
I hope people feel refreshed after it. It's kind of like going to a library: There's something in there for everybody.
