The First Rule of Lunch Beat:If it’s your first time at Lunch Beat, you have to dance. Lunch Beat is a new social/lunch event taking over Europe. Groups of professionals meet in a large unused space in the city for an hour at lunchtime, dance nightclub style with a DJ spinning tunes, and then grab some food. Events have taken place across Europe and the first Lunch Beat in the U.S. will be on Wednesday in Long Island City, Queens, NYC. There is no alcohol or other substances, just you, some food, and music.
It’s an extraordinary scene for midday: young and old dancing together, without any of the alcohol, pretension, or sexual tension that are often synonymous with the nightclub experience. [Molly Range] recalls seeing young men from two of the country’s major financial institutions arguing in the waiting line recently. They were debating which bank would prevail in a dance-off.
So would you ever consider attending a Lunch Beat?
This sounds crazy, but it could be a lot of fun. You would definitely need to make sure you had a spare shirt for work afterwards if you were going to attend.
Yea, let me get all sweaty and smelling like the chick I'm grinding on before I go back to my office for 9 hours...
I'm from Germany and I can't imagine that succeeding. Neither do people have the time for these excessive lunch breaks, nor would I feel like ridiculing myself for going there.
Dumb. I'd go to watch the fail though.
i'm not surprised this is huge in europe, those guys will dance to almost anything (see below)
i can def see this catching on in nyc w/ the hipsters
no one wants to see finance guys dancing so i'm guessing this won't catch on well in w/ the wall street crowd + i second what hpm said

Umm...what's the point if there's no alcohol or sexual tension? That's the only reason TO dance.
What's gayer? This, JonnyRingo or Swagon?
Definitely Johnny ringo
just wait for the weekend to begin..

you for that. Brightened my evening.I'm going to get some buddies with native wear and do rain dances on Wall, these people need to loosen up a little. Then we're doing a war dance for OWS. If some stiff in a suit wants to join, all the better, I'm building an army.
Why not dance at work?
This video is awesome.
That. sounds. awesome. Too bad sober americans aren't as cool as Europeans.
I'm sure this'll go over real well with the workaholics in New York City...
It would be fun, and it's a super cheap lunch experience. But yeah, you would stink for work in the arvo, and westerners are so self-conscious.
Plus when I used to work full time (back at school atm), I took lunch at my desk. Can't imagine actually having time to go dance, eat, have a shower, all in an hour.
