JOYRIOT: Y2K Bops 💿 (A 90s/2000s Pop-Inspired Silent Disco Flash Mob)
It's time to dust off your old CD collection, peel on your low-rise jeans, and take a nostalgic journey back to the era of Britney, Boy Bands, and Destiny's Child (before Beyonce went solo).
If a flash mob and a silent disco dance party had a baby, it would be a JOYRIOT.
JOYRIOT is a walking dance party where music, playful prompts, light choreography, and spontaneous connection turn the streets into our very own dance floor...fueled by the songs that Carson Daly used to usher into your living room via MTV's TRL.
You'll be led by your JOYRIOT emcee through a curated, nostalgia-fueled journey designed to help you:
✨ Drop self-consciousness
✨ Loosen up and let go
✨ Connect with awesome, like-hearted humans
✨ Remember what it feels like to feel fully free
No dance experience required.
No rhythm needed.
No “coolness” expected.
Just a willingness to say yes.
The Agenda:
6-6:15: Check-in
6:15-7:30: JOYRIOT!
7:30-8:15: Dinner at Lotus cafe to keep the joy going (food not included in ticket price)
What to Expect:
JOYRIOT routes often include stairs, light inclines, and continuous movement for the duration of the event (with built-in breaks). Come ready to dance, move, and sweat. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. If you have any concerns about your ability to participate in sustained physical activity, please consult your doctor before attending.
What to Wear:
✨ Your best 2000s-inspired outfits encouraged, as we'll be giving an award to best-dressed! Dress in anything that makes you feel joyful, but please wear comfortable shoes. We will be covering about a mile during our JOYRIOT, and you will probably get sweaty.
"Had an incredible time dancing with joy! I loved the music selection, the connection, the joy we were able to spread just my moving and being seen in our community. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to connect with new people, push themselves out of their comfort zone, and have fun dancing and moving their body!"
