The Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando rocked the world. Since the horrific incident, organizations and individuals around the world have shown an outpouring of support. And Beijing is showing theirs, yet again, with the 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop: Dance Marathon for Pulse'. The goal is to dance, dance, dance to bring the community together and to take action to honor the victims.
The marathon will be held at The Hatchery on Saturday August 6 from 1pm-1am. So strap on your dancing shoes and get ready to dance for 12 hours straight. Don't worry, there will be sustenance provided to fuel you all night long. Dancers will get delicious food from sponsors The Hatchery and Más. Cheers and Vedett will provide drinks and Miss Muesli and Beyogurt (and more) will have snacks galore.
And what’s a dance marathon without some tunes? Some of Beijing's best DJs (The Count of Monte Disco, Saucy, Ariel, Oops2, Crystal Bones, Juhstynn, Signal, Baby Bok Choy and Gary Boozy) will be volunteering their time – and skills – to the cause. So get ready to strut your stuff on the dance floor all day (and night!) long to some disco and house beats.
If you want to participate make sure to sign up in advance. The cost to register is RMB150 (before August 1) and RMB250 (after August 1) but you can save RMB50 by using the coupon code "shakeit". All you have to do is sign up and pledge to dance for the 12 hours and get your friends and family to sponsor you and to make donations. Just so you know, the person who brings in the most sponsors will also get a special prize.
It’s going to be good times and it’s for a great cause. But if you’re not in the mood to dance, stop on by The Hatchery anyway to cheer the dancers on and join in on the festivities.
Proceeds will go to the Pulse Victim's Fund, a reputable organization that will distribute donations directly to the victims and their families.
