This Friday from 6:30-11pm Solar One and Fourth Arts Block (FAB) will be hosting a Dance Your Values Party in celebration of Shop Your Values Week and its efforts to get New Yorkers to put their money towards real systemic change for a better NYC economy.

The night will be accompanied with great music, awesome giveaways, a cool outdoor setting by the river, tons of tasty food and beer, and the opportunity to help align the moral compass for a better world. The Dance Party will kick off at 6:30pm with live music from electro pop band Strega and $3 beers to anyone who’s taken the online pledge at www.shopyourvaluesweek.com.

The music will then be handed over to a Sea to Sun DJ where he’ll pump up the bass, and get the party bumping. At 7:30pm the Dance Your Values Dance Off! will begin. The Dance Off! will be a tap-to-award contest where a SYVW team of judges will be going around and tapping people on the shoulder to inform them that they’ve been dancing their values off. Everyone who is tapped will be asked to meet up at 8:30 and will be awarded one of several prizes.

The prizes include:

  • 1 yr membership to the 14 st Y
  • 3 Davis Worshow Kohler Shower Heads
  • Babeland adult toys (at the end of the evening)
    • Lyla rechareable vibrator by lelo
