4 Things to Know about Danceportation at Meow Wolf Denver

The most important things you need to know about Danceportation at Meow Wolf's Convergence Station in Denver, CO.

Meow Wolf Denver’s only immersive dance party, Danceportation, pulses through all the worlds of Convergence Station. Your next opportunity to experience this interdimensional dance party is in October, with 2 Danceportations: Bass Invasion and Emo Nite.

Explore stages in Numina, Eemia, C Street and The Perplexiplex® - not to mention hidden pop-up stages for you to explore and find. Convergence Station transforms into a sanctuary of beats and rhythms with spaces to take a breather from the dancefloor action as needed.

Here are four key things you need to know to have the most extraordinary time at Danceportation:

  • Your ticket gives you a night of incredible music 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 2 am.
  • Danceportation is a PARTY! Don the appropriate attire – sparkles, outlandish costumery, or whatever feeds your soul. Not to mention, there may be a costume contest in your future, so dress for the Halloweekend occasion! 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 (like Frick Frack Blackjack who will be returning for Bass Invasion night). Might there also be a body painter? A conga line? A Yawlp sighting? Who knows!
