What better way to kick off the month of October than with a colorful, global dance party inside the greenest museum on the planet? Grab a partner—or a few—and head to NightLife for a museum-wide dance-a-thon.

From belly dancing to vogue-ing to barn-style contra dancing to swing and salsa—the world of movement is your oyster during this one-night-only rhythm fest.
