Hot In Herre: 2000s Dance Party
Ages 18+
Hot in Herre, the biggest 2000s/Y2K party in the country!
Hot In Herre features dope DJs behind the decks and 00s visuals that will transport you back to the days of blinged-out flip phones and trucker hats!
At Hot In Herre, you’ll hear your favorite hits and guilty pleasures from the first decade of the millennium from artists like Nelly (duh), Beyoncé, Usher, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Pitbull, 50 Cent, Shakira, Snoop Dogg, Flo Rida, Fergie, T-Pain, Amy Winehouse, Outkast, Eminem, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Sean Paul, Avril Lavigne and so many more.
** Wear your best 2000s-era gear at Hot In Herre! We’re talkin’ fuzzy pink Juicy Couture sweats, bling, Ed Hardy shirts, loooow-rise jeans, UGG boots, crop tops… you name it, just wear it! **
We’re taking song requests all night, too. Pull out your old iPod playlists and have your favs ready to go!
Immerse yourself in the space where reality and fiction intertwine in “Masquerade,” an intra-active, contemporary, operatic dance performance set to electronic symphonic music, sung live by soprano Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. A fan-favorite of seasons past, this internationally acclaimed, Philadelphia-based troupe artfully finds the line between beauty and innovation — then boldly dances on it — and this truly unique theatrical work is no exception, creating a world where truth belongs to the imagination of the beholder.
Connect with the art and artists in a dance master class and pre-show discussions.

The Grey Eagle Presents: Blue Country Line Dance’s Bronco Brunch
You will walk away with more clarity on the highest value of your business or idea, and how to communicate it.
This is an event for people in idea stages:
You have some business or startup ideas to work through, or you are in the early stages of your existing business, or maybe you are adding a new aspect or direction to your business.
It’s also great for people who just want to learn by helping others through those stages.
This event pairs perfectly with Hatch This, the weekend after. You’ll be able to get clear on your startup idea, and build confidence before Hatch This!
This is a collaborative learning event. You will work with just a few other people, presenting your ideas for feedback, and providing feedback for others. You will be guided by one of the mentors (listed below), who will provide a unique approach to dig deep and really define the how, what, and why behind your business or idea.

Join Reiki Master Teacher and Yoga Nidra Facilitator, Kate Wargo of Woven Light in a soothing Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) practice guiding you into the “in-between”; that space between being awake and asleep.

The cave will transform into a “Nidra Nest” with comfy reclining loungers, blankets, and bolsters to fully support you, whether sitting or lying down, for the entire experience.
During this experience, Kate will also offer Reiki to those who desire it. Reiki feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
