♛ ROYALTY ♛

▲ NEW YEAR’S EVE DANCE PARTY ▲

Underneath the mask we are all one – just star stuff waiting for our time to shine. We believe music & dance transcend language, nationality, skin color, and other labels. As a challenging 2021 comes to a close, we invite you to rule the dance floor, and to celebrate our unity in diversity.

In order to make this event as safe as possible, we are hosting it at a very tall, large & spacious new venue in inner SE. We will also be requiring proof of vaccination or negative RT-PCR test to enter.

Come dress up in Gold, and let us treat you like ROYALTY as together we dance into 2022. ♔

We are going all out for our 14th annual NYE Bash, bringing back popular performers, introducing new ones, and making sure we dance you into 2022 like there is no tomorrow! Come rule the dance floor, all night long.

║COVID-19 Requirement ║

State of Oregon guidelines will be enforced.

Proof of vaccination or negative RT-PCR test is required to enter for our New Year’s Eve party.

║Guidelines @ every JAI HO!║

Creating a safe & celebratory space is our number one priority at every event we host.

And we would love for you to be an accomplice of mine by greeting & treating everyone like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile.

We know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom it may be relevant, we have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and generally reckless behavior including but not limited to fighting, inappropriate touch, etc.

Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be thrown out at once & may never be able to attend our dance parties again.

If you see something, say something by bringing it to the attention of the venue staff or me directly.
