Dances

After sitting in panels and attending more sedentary events during the day, come and get your blood flowing with our themed dances! We have a dance each night at Norwescon (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) and feature many different styles of music and a variety of DJs to get your groove on. Costumes are encouraged and fannish classics are always crowd-pleasers. Bring old friends and meet new people as you shake that! Everyday I’m Shufflin’!

NEW! We are hosting our first U-21 (people under 21 — yes, parents are welcome) dance. It will be on Friday night of the convention. Make sure you bring your costume and show us how you shake it on the dance floor!

Themes for our dances are currently:

  • Thursday (all-ages): Beach Party at the End of the Universe (with Dancin’ Dan Murphy)
  • Friday (under-21): Space Pirates! (Under-21 dance) (with DJ Girly Girl)
  • Friday (all-ages): Friday Night Luau (with DJ Rohkan and DJ Request)
  • Saturday (all-ages): Return of the Saturday Night Hoedown (with Todd Clark)

NEW! Check out our new Song Request feature! Already know that there’s a song you really want to hear at one of the dances? Let us know what it is, and our DJs will scurry off to make sure they’re prepared!

  • Don't worry if you don't know, this just makes it easier for our DJs to track down the more obscure stuff.
  • Is there a particular reason for this request? Anything you'd like to add to sweet-talk the DJ? Half-remembered lyrics of that one track that one guy played kinda late, but not too late, last con, on the Friday night dance, but might have been Saturday, maybe even Thursday, but probably Friday, that was really good and got everybody going, but you've never been able to quite track it down? Yeah, that one!
