The evening starts as a happy hour networking and cocktail party mixer, with background music and videos starting with the 1920s and progressing through the decades. The event then switches to a dance party, starting with 1970s funk/disco music and then progressing to retro1980s - 1990s dance tunes. Music videos will be projected on three large screens throughout the evening, and our wonderful DJ happily plays requests!
