Portland, OR · Family Rave Experience

Where the beat drops and families rise.

Portland's daytime family rave — where rave culture meets child-centric play. Professional-grade sound. Safe, inclusive environment. Maximum fun.

Who We Are

More Than a Dance Party

Dance Mode is a movement — a safe space where families bond through music, movement, and the shared electricity of a real dance floor.

🎵

Authentic Sound

Professional-grade DJ sets blending House and EDM classics, curated for energy and joy — not watered down.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family First

Every detail is designed with caregivers and kids in mind — from sensory refuge rooms to kid-friendly concessions and intentional pacing.

✨

Real Rave Energy

Lasers, fog, and lights. Glow sticks and good vibes. An environment that honors the culture while welcoming the next generation.

🌈

Radically Inclusive

PLUR isn't just a slogan — it's how we run every event. Allergen-conscious food, sensory-safe spaces, and a floor that celebrates every family structure, gender identity, and background. Come as you are.

Our Mission

“To create an authentic atmosphere where families can share their love of dance in a professional-grade environment — celebrating each other through the power of the beat.”

Noon Year's Eve

Venue TBA

Times announced soon

A New Year's Eve dance party with a midday countdown — so the whole family can celebrate and still make bedtime.

The Vibe

Real Rave. Real Safe. Real Fun.

Dance Mode exists in the space between two worlds that rarely meet. We believe you shouldn't have to choose between an authentic music experience and bringing your whole family.

Families dancing at a Dance Mode event
01

Safe Doesn't Mean Boring

We don't water down the music or the environment. Professional fog machines, lasers, and a proper sound system — just in a space where kids are welcome and cared for.

02

The Kids Lead the Energy

There's nothing like watching a 4-year-old absolutely losing it to a House drop. That uninhibited joy is contagious — and that's the whole point.

03

Rave Culture Deserves Roots

We're building the next generation of music lovers. By welcoming kids into authentic spaces, we pass on the tradition of dancing together.

04

Caregivers Get to Dance Too

Our sensory refuge room means parents who need a break can take one. But most of them? They're right there on the floor, shuffling with their kids.
