US dance brand Daybreaker launching in Sydney

Another overseas branded event is arriving in Sydney after thousands of ravers signed a petition.

This time it’s New York’s Daybreaker, the morning dance experience which is already in 25 cities around the world and drawn 450,000, according to promoters.

The Sydney launch, on Wednesday, February 13, is in collaboration with SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and will take place inside the new $5 million interactive Day and Night on the Reef Exhibit.

The organisers say: “Imagine a multi-sensory experience that will float you through the largest Great Barrier Reef display in the world.

“Dance with sea turtles, reef sharks and more than 500 other mesmerizing sea creatures and tropical fish.”

The three-hour session begins with an hour-long yoga session and a Hi-NRG dance party with MC Elliott La Rue from NYC and DJ duo Night Tales.

Daybreaker began over a late-night falafel in Brooklyn, New York in 2013.

Social entrepreneurs and close friends, Radha Agrawal and Matt Brimer, mused over an idea about dancing before the day broke with people they loved.

The idea stemmed from frustration with nightlife and all the stigmas that often come with it —a lack of human connection, people engrossed in their phones, mean bouncers and the lack of dancing.

Agrawal said this morning: “We’re most passionate about sharing with Sydney that Daybreaker is a community, first and foremost.

“It’s where we come together to unlock, connect and self express through dance.

“It’s amazing what can happen when you bring a group of people together on a dance floor that’s totally unapologetic and gives you a true sense of freedom.”
