If you were with us on Saturday night, you know the energy was unmatched. We had such an incredible time celebrating 55 years of DANCE 89.5 that we just had to keep the celebration going a little longer and relive the best moments with you!

From start to finish, the night was a packed house full of incredible music, high energy, and the vibrant community that has kept us spinning for over five decades.

The soundtrack for the night was on point thanks to our amazing line up! A massive shoutout to Trent Von, Kryspin, Johnny Monsoon, and blklab for keeping the dance floor moving all night long!

We weren’t just partying in person, we were broadcasting LIVE straight from the dance floor! Our listeners at home got a front-row seat to the sights, sounds, and tunes. We even had current student broadcasters hop on the mic throughout the night to share the excitement over the airwaves. Adding to the magic, Dollhouse Revolution, owned and operated by a a talented Nathan Hale High School alum, brought all the glitz and glame!

One of the highlights of the night was seeing the incredible mix of people who came out to show love. We were so thrilled to welcome longtime listeners, community supporters, and even some adorable youngsters who hit the dance floor early and brought the absolute best dance moves of the night! Seeing multiple generations of radio lovers together under one roof reminded us why local, student-powered radio is so special.

An event like this takes a village. We want to send a huge, heartfelt thank you to: Trinity Nightclub for hosting us in such an iconic space. Our dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the night run smoothly. YOU, our listeners, alumni, and donors, whose ongoing passion and financial support make everything we do possible.
