A New party series mixing nightlife culture, Afrodiasporic history, hip-hop dance performance, and live music. Raw Groove Presents: Life of the Party is a singular event in Denver’s dance and party landscape.

Raw Groove Presents… is a live performance and party series bringing together Denver’s most vibrant artists, dancers, DJs and musicians. This event, hosted by up and coming Denver based fusion dance collective Raw Groove, celebrates the creativity, resilience, and power of art from the Black Diaspora, offering an unforgettable experience where music, dance, history, and togetherness converge.

Rooted in the nightlife traditions of the Black Diaspora, Raw Groove Presents… invites you to join a journey that honors the lineage of timeless steps and rhythms through a reimagined lens. Each evening promises a curated lineup of live music, DJ sets, mesmerizing performances, line dancing, and an after party—all set to soundtracks ranging from Funk to House to Afrobeats. Each component of the night is designed to connect you more deeply with the soul of each highlighted music and dance genre.

Raw Groove Presents… aims to foster spaces where BIPOC artists not only perform but thrive in environments that respect fair wages, value creative input, and embrace artistic daring. This series also serves as a gathering space where diverse communities come together in celebration of history, spirit and catharsis.

Our first party is April 19th 10pm @ Manos Sagrados with Off the Cuff celebrating afrobeat music.

A dance class will also be provided as an add-on to the tickets.
