Are you psyched to dance? Then come join us! The Boogie is a freestyle dance event
which happens once a month in Brooklyn, New York. We offer a relaxed, smoke- and alcohol-free
environment where folks can freely express themselves in movement. Our DJs spin a wide variety of
sounds all guaranteed to get you moving and grooving!
People of all ages, families and kids are welcome. (Children must be supervised at all times.)
Come alone or bring your friends. You'll find folks at the dance moving solo, with partners,
and in groups. We also keep chat to a minimum on the dance floor but welcome verbal connection
in the non-dance spaces! The Barefoot Boogie is a not-for-profit, cooperative and volunteer-run venture
and our proceeds go to help local families and individuals in need.
Come join us at the Boogie in dance, hanging out and whatnot. If you groove on what we're doing and have time and energy to help us make the dance happen, all the better. Folks who help out can get reduced or even free admission to the Boogie. We're entirely volunteer-run so we always need people who can work as dance coordinators and DJs, and do door shifts. Just ask and we'll be glad to fill you in on how we're set up. And we're always open to feedback!
From our pool of talented DJs, two spin each dance. Each of our DJs has his or her own distinctive style, but one thing you can rely on is that at every Boogie you'll hear a wide variety of music: R&B, tribal, funk, lyrical and acoustic, ambient, electronica, disco, rock, and much more. And we're always looking for more people who want to take a turn at the DJ table, so let us know if you're interested!
Our indoor dances are held at Camp Friendship in Park Slope, Brooklyn in a spacious and airy hall with clean wood floors and air conditioning in the summer. Also, proceeds from Boogie admission fees go to support the Camp Friendship Food Pantry, which every week provides food assistance to over 500 families and individuals in need.
The Barefoot Boogie NYC is a member of Dance New England (DNE), which is a network of barefoot, smoke-free dances taking place in cities throughout the Northeast United States. Check it out!
