Singles’ Dance
Held a few times a year, this party is designed exclusively for those who aren’t in a relationship. At the moment, the upcoming dates haven’t been announced yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye out and securing your ticket as soon as they go on sale, since they tend to sell out quickly.
📍The latest editions took place at Terra SP
