The SWEAT Party turns 2!!!

You remember how it all started…

It was a Saturday night…you were prepping for your weekend stress reliever of friends and fun. As you reached for your favorite jeans, funkiest graphic tee, freshest kicks, and your “SWEAT rag”, you headed out the door to attend an event where it’s guaranteed no wallflowers, pricey bottle service, stuffy buttoned-ups or couture dresses. Just pure unadulterated dancing and fun…..

You came….to SWEAT!

Join us Saturday, January 28th as we celebrate our 2nd Anniversary, held at Tribeca Cinemas!

Come and visit our Wellness Lounge for a chair massage and blood pressure screening. Then join our SWEAT Steppers pedometer contest for your chance to win a vacation to Mexico, all while you leave your stress on the dance floor.

Dance party kicks off at 11pm with sounds by DJ CEO, DJ Snatch-1 and DJ Omen.

The Sweat Party Pt. XIII ” SCHOOL DAZE” North Vs South

November 6, 2011 Grae Events, Lifestyle No Comments
WAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!

What was your SAT score? What school did you go to? What fraternity or sorority do you belong to?

On November 19th, we present to you the LAST Sweat Party of the year, and we are going out with a BANG!!!

School Daze (North vs. South) means we are not only paying homage to the classic Spike Lee joint, but also a battle of the “bands” — music from the North vs. the Dirty South. And we want you to REP your school. Whether it be a local college or a big time university, we want you to show that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, get your school pride and rep your region.

Q: Which side are you on?
A: The MASON DIXON line is the divider . If your school is below the line, then your SOUTH. And the opposite means you’re a YANKEE.

Calling ALL GREEKS: Come “stomp our yard” and show which frat/sorority rules.

We will also be celebrating the Birthday of Markuan Smith of “Let’s Talk About Pep”. Markuan is an actor/model and a huge supporter of the Sweat Movement!

Wellness hour still begins @ 10pm. This is the event that saves lives and refreshes the Spirit.
