Circle Up is a new kind of nightlife experience — what happens when you cross the intimacy of storytelling with the electricity of the dance floor? Come sweat your stories with us to find out. 

For the past decade, Elliott LaRue has toured the globe as the voice and Global MC of Daybreaker, leading sunrise dance parties on rooftops and in iconic venues across every continent. Now, he’s evolving that artistry into a new form—debuting music from his upcoming album and guiding us through an evening that’s as vulnerable as it is joyful.

Together with experience designer and performer Kate Russell, Elliott is co-creating Circle Up to meet a new rhythm of nightlife emerging around the world, one centered on connection and belonging. 

First, we gather in a circle to listen. Then we circle up to reflect and connect. Finally, we rise to dance it all out in a circle, letting the music transform the journey we’ve been on into collective release.
