Danceportation: Where to Explore

Bars, music, dancing, pop-ups: surprises and delights are an undeniable Danceportation truth. When it comes to adults-only events in Denver, this is one you won’t want to miss. Here are a few locations you must check out (But don’t forget, we’ve been known to add pop-up stages and other surprises all around the exhibit).

‍

Numina

See the organic landscapes of Numina in a whole new light – literally. This sixth-dimensional sentient planet gets a custom lighting design for every Danceportation Denver event.

 

‍

Eemia

Join forces with the musical powers in Eemia for an ethereal late-night experience. The otherworldly lights and sounds from the cathedral organ take on new life during adults-only events in Denver. 

‍

C Street

C Street beckons you to come closer and discover more of Danceportation. Hang out in the main drag of Convergence Station while you plot your course through the evening. You may even find a secret or two in the entertainment venues on this stretch. There are reported sightings of world-famous VJs in the Orpheum Monoplex theater (C Street’s fully-functioning movie venue). 

‍

‍

The Perplexiplex®

The main Danceportation events take place in our interactive performance space for a truly magical time. The Perplexiplex is more than a concert venue – its projection mapped scenes provide a lush and transcendent experience for event attendees. Plus, live VJs mean every show conjures up a brand new vibe. 

‍

What is VJing? 

VJing refers to creating and manipulating imagery in real time in sync with music. Basically, it means someone really cool is creating your visual experience in tandem with your audio experience. Our world-class VJs literally play with the band while deciding what imagery to play alongside the music. Sometimes bands send over their own content, and other times, VJs simply let the experience speak through them. Most importantly, it means you get to experience a different venue every time you come to a Meow Wolf show.

Four things you should know to have the best time at Danceportation at Meow Wolf in 2025:

• 21+ events at Meow Wolf aren’t limited to the music. Your ticket gives you a night of incredible shows AND access to the entirety of Convergence! Artists play throughout multiple worlds, so explore psychedelic art as you wander between sets, or find a quieter room to lounge a little bit.
• Grab a drink at bars throughout Danceportation, and visit the executive travel lounge, Sips (with a Z). We additionally have non-alcoholic options (fruit juices, Red Bull Energy Drinks, Heineken 0, Seedlip Non-Alcoholic Spirits, and Rocky Mtn Sodas like Cola, Diet Cola, Lemon-Limeade, and Prickly Pear) until 2am.
• Danceportation is a PARTY! Don the appropriate attire – sparkles, outlandish costumery, or whatever feeds your soul. Just be sure to keep any prohibited items at home or in the car (see below for more details).
• Be ready for surprises and delights. We’ve been known to add some pop-up stages around the exhibit, so who knows if your favorite artist will be playing a secret show. We also have performers that enter the worlds and provide travelers with games and entertainment. Might there also be a body painter? A conga line? A Yawlp sighting? Who knows!
