THE PARTY IS NOT OVER!
THE PARTY IS NOT OVER!
ABOUT US
The Party Is Not Over! is a Brooklyn-based mutual aid dance party that centers joy as an act of resistance while challenging the apolitical, dissociative tendencies of many dance scenes in New York City.
We refuse the separation of struggle and pleasure, and aim to offer an intersectional space where conscious joy and radical action intertwine. Proceeds from our dance parties go toward supporting grassroots mutual aid initiatives in New York and beyond.
We center accessibility, intentionality, and care: understanding that the spaces we gather in shape how we move, how we trust, and how we belong. Safety is not a fixed state but can be something we co-create together in real time. Community can exist seamlessly outside the frameworks of capitalism and individualism that shape our contemporary reality; rest and joy are not indulgences, but our bodies’ natural states. Claiming the full spectrum of our being through dance, stillness, presence is as much an act of resistance as taking informed action.
Rather than escapism, we see movement as both refuge and rebellion; a site where we are free to be more than what is prescribed; a space to reclaim joy, presence, and dance as forces of resilience against the alienation of everyday life, fortifying us for informed, intentional action and existence.
The Party Is Not Over! is a Queer, anti-fascist anti-discriminatory event. This is not an exclusive party, but we uphold clear community standards:
There is zero tolerance for apartheid apologists, genocide apologists, fascists, racists, queer-phobes, sexists, misogynists, ableists, and bigots of any kind.
We also believe that growth happens in dialogue, not judgment. You are invited to unlearn, along with the rest of us—but accountability is key, and violations of our values will not be tolerated. We protect our community.
In love & solidarity, always
House Rules
The way we do things in our House.
Art
Artists are here to share their love. To do so they need full autonomy. They curate the night in the way they see fit. No requests. No disrespect. Buy them drinks, show them love!
Boundaries & Consent
Consent at a dance party means respecting every body’s personal space and expression. It means honoring their boundaries, their choice to dance with you or opt out, to accept or decline a drink offer, to engage in conversation or abstain.
Clear communication promotes a safe & inclusive environment, ensuring that everyone can enjoy without compromising their boundaries. When uncertain, just ask!
Community
A space for Community: a safe space where everyone can flourish and explore their authentic selves (yes in plural;). Our space is founded on respect, appreciation, & love.
Dopamine
No one’s here to tell you how to live your life or live up to the party, just please be mindful of how your consumption affects everyone's boundaries and levels of comfort.
Empathy
No sexual harassment, No acts of aggression (including leering), No racism, No misogyny, No transphobia, No homophobia, No religious bigotry, No ableism, No body-shaming.
Friends
Picture a kitchen with candles flickering under a disco ball. This is our Sanctuary; a harmonious blend of cozy warmth and spirited fervor. We carefully select our quests and our guests. Selective inclusivity upholds the sanctity of our space. If you choose to bring friends, ensure they embrace our ethos & share our love.
Gang
A violation against one is a violation against all. We defend each other because no one will defend us. If you see something, do something. If you are afraid, say something to someone. No one can act if no one knows. A gang learns together, unlearns together, and moves together.
