Grab your leg warmers, and hit the dancefloor!
Grab your leg warmers and slip into your sequins because the team from Common People Dance Project are set to turn Museum of Brisbane into a dance party right in the heart of the city!
In this immersive experience, Museum of Brisbane transforms into a glittering, high-energy dance party where community stories shine.
The People’s Dancefloor is all about community, belonging, and the sheer joy of movement, where the voices and lived experiences of everyday people come to life — sharing stories of connection, identity, and expression through dance.
Whether you're here to bust a move, contribute your own dance memories, or simply soak up the energy, there's a place for everyone in this celebration of rhythm and togetherness.
