This is not your typical nightclub. We're creating a special space for international and multicultural students to connect deeply—not just through words, but through music and movement that resonate with who you are.

We know that “home” and “culture” don’t always have a simple or singular definition. They can be layered, fluid, evolving. That’s why we invite you to share songs that feel meaningful to you—songs from your culture(s), in your language(s), or simply songs that make you feel like you.

We especially invite you to choose:

• One song from your culture that you enjoy listening to—whether it’s chill, soothing, emotional, sad, angry, hyper, fun… anything

OR

• One song from your culture that makes you want to move or dance with others—high-energy or low-energy, chill or wild, sad or joyful. All vibes are welcome.

During the event, we’ll play these songs in a dance studio transformed with neon lights to create a cozy, club-like atmosphere.

Unlike mainstream clubs that blast global party hits, this night is all about your cultural soundtracks.

Throughout the night, a Connection MC will gently offer movement invitations:

• Move by yourself
• Move with others
• Flow between the two

These are just invitational prompts—follow them if you’d like, or simply do what feels good. Everything is welcome.

You might

1. Dance freely to your own or someone else’s song

2. Sit still and breathe in the atmosphere...maybe close your eyes and let the music move through you

3. Turn away from the group and dance inwardly

4. Or join others in joyful, hand in hand circle dance, line dance, partner movement...anything is ok in this connection nigh club!

There will also be FREE international snacks and drinks!

Participation Guidelines:

• Arrival Time – Please arrive on time at 7:00 PM so you don’t miss the free snacks and drinks!
• What to Wear – Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Note: This is a dance studio, so we’ll be taking our shoes off.)
• Song Submission (Optional) – We'd love for you to submit one song from your culture—either one you love listening to, or one that makes you want to move with others. All vibes welcome. Submit your song in the question below. Fill in "N/A" if you're not submitting a song this time.
• Photos & Videos – Light media will be taken for social sharing. If you prefer not to be photographed, please let us know in the "Anything you’d like us to know?" section of the form.
• Respect & Consent – This is a shared space for expression and connection. If you’d like to use touch in your movement (e.g., a fist bump, holding hands, or dancing together), always ask first and make sure you have clear consent. A simple “Are you okay with a fist bump?” goes a long way!
