Words of Wisdom

Don’t litter! There will be waste reclamation stations located throughout the site for waste, compostables and recyclables. Be sure to drink plenty of water, as Dancing + NYC summer heat = lots of sweating. Please keep all valuables with you at all times. There will be a Lost & Found available at the general information tent, which will be close to the entrance. For your safety, absolutely no weapons or illegal substances will be permitted. Be kind to one another, pace yourselves, and feel free to give a random stranger a high five.
