Thursday, Dec 3 The Drop

About the party

The Drop is a house-rooted dance party led by Tasha Blank at House of Yes in Bushwick, on Thursday, December 3. It is an early evening session from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM that opens with a warm-up movement class. The idea behind the name is to drop expectations and inhibitions and dance on instinct, and the floor has firm house rules: no phones anywhere, and no drinks or chatting on the dance floor.

What to expect

A phone-free, body-focused dance floor on what the listing calls the city's best custom sound system, over a floated wood floor. Feelings and catharsis are part of the pitch, and coming alone is explicitly welcome. The listing also teases performances and activations it will not describe in advance. My take: this is for people who want to dance hard early in the evening, without phones or bar chatter, and still be home at a reasonable hour.

Music and lineup

Rooted in house music, ranging from about 100 to 130 BPM, per the description. Schedule from the listing: 6:30 PM warm-up movement class, 7 PM a guest DJ still to be announced, 8 PM Tasha Blank & Friends. The guest DJ and the friends are not named.

Before you go
