DECAdance

One Night. Five Decades. Endless Memories.

You know that song. The one that hits before your brain catches up.

DECAdance builds an entire night around that moment.

Every hour, the room changes decades. Dress your era. Find your people.

Why DECAdance

Because under a mirrorball, everybody gets to be somebody, baby.

Because life's too short for small hair, small hooks, or small feelings.

Because keeping it real means no fronting, no sidelines, and everybody gets a verse.

Because the songs we burned to CD deserve a full-volume comeback.

Because every generation can be the main character on the same dance floor.

That's DECAdance.

Watch the Night Take Shape

The first DECAdance film drops after the first night.

Until then, move through the eras. Every panel is a taste of what happens when the room commits.

Disco
Mirrorball heat. Liberation. Gold light. The floor is a church.
80s
Neon and drama. Big hooks. Even bigger feelings.
90s
Bass in the chest. The room recognizes itself.
Y2K
Chrome. Glitter. Songs you forgot you still know every word to.
Today
Queer energy. Global rhythm. The now, and what comes next.
The Experience

Five Steps. One Night. Every Memory.

Step 01
Pick your era.

The decade that raised you. Shaped you. Or the one you missed and always wanted.

Step 02
Dress the part.

Sequins, leather, denim, chrome, mesh. Whatever makes the memory visible on your body.

Step 03
Dance through five decades.

Every hour, the room changes. New sound. New energy. New version of the night.

Step 04
Find your people.

One floor, every generation, one song landing on all of them at once.

Step 05
Leave with a memory.

Not just a great night. A song you'll hear next week and immediately be back in this room.

Who are you here?

DECAdance is one experience with five doors. Find yours.

Partners

DECAdance is a public experience, but it's designed to work for the people who build rooms for a living. Venues, sponsors, promoters, and brands can enter this format without flattening what makes it special.

A format that fills your room and gives people a reason to come back.

You know your room. We bring a format that holds it for hours and resets on the hour.

Cross-generational pull

Disco to Today reaches guests your regular programming misses.

Built-in bar spend

Nostalgia crowds stay the full night. Each era transition resets the energy.

Repeatable by design

One test night becomes a monthly or quarterly residency.

Founder
Derrick Johnson II

DECAdance was created by Derrick Johnson II, also known as DJ DJ, a Washington, DC and DMV-based DJ, creative director, and experience strategist with 25 years of building moments people don't forget.

As a DJ, he knows what it takes to move a room. As an experience architect, he knows how to build a format that travels. DECAdance is where both of those things became one room, and one idea that can scale to any city ready for it.

DJ DJ is the sound. Derrick is the structure. DECAdance is where both of them walk into the same room.
