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.
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.
Partnership
Sponsor the Movement
We partner with local Portland businesses and organizations that share our values — creativity, inclusion, and family wellbeing. Options start at free.
