Power Move: Groove is in the Heart

  • Free
  • Music

Groove is in the heart is your middle of the day invitation to shake off the stress, drop the grind, and move like it’s 1990 (or yesterday, or tomorrow – they're not fussy).

Featuring an ever-changing roster of guest DJs, iconic playlists, community dancers and surprise d-floor moments, these daytime parties are open to anyone with a body and a beat in their heart. Whether you’re a solo shuffler, group groover, or interpretive mover, there’s a place for you in the sun.

Come for one song or stay all afternoon – the only rule is: dance like everybody is watching, and nobody cares.

Power Move at Fed Square is not your average boogie. It’s a sprawling, technicolour playground where every shimmy, stomp, and spin pumps clean, green energy straight into the party’s heart. This interactive kinetic dancefloor is an open invite and a challenge to the people of Melbourne. Can Melbourne dance hard enough to power the whole thing off-grid?

Let’s move Melbourne.
