Get ready to move, groove, and Experience the Beat! This high-energy, interactive workshop performance brings DC’s signature sound, Go-Go music, to life — blending history, rhythm, and crowd participation for an unforgettable experience.

  • Learn the Legacy: Dive into the origins of Go-Go, its roots in funk, R&B, and African rhythms, and its impact on DC’s culture. Hear about Chuck Brown, Rare Essence, Junkyard Band, and more who shaped the movement.
  • Feel the Beat: Watch The Experience Band & Show break down the signature Go-Go rhythm, demonstrating how congas, cowbells, and live percussion create the unmistakable groove.
  • Join the Movement: Go-Go is all about crowd energy! Engage in live call-and-response, feel the rhythm, and help curate an authentic Go-Go jam alongside the band.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the sound, this event is all about music, movement, and community. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the beat!
