Future of Us Festival “Between Beats” Night (The Faight)

​An experiment in music, movement, memory, and collective imagination.

What to Expect

​Part archive. Part conversation. Part dance floor.

Between Beats explores the dance floor as memory, as meeting place, and as possibility. Through stories, conversation, and movement, we’ll explore how feeling more at home in our bodies can create deeper connection — with ourselves, with one another, and with the communities & future we build together.

  • Remember — Explore an immersive archive of stories, songs, photos, videos, and memories from the dance floor.

  • Reflect — Join a live conversation on music, movement, identity, and belonging.

  • Move — Step onto a dance floor where performance gives way to presence and connection. Stay for the music, meet someone new, and imagine what the future of dance spaces could look like.

Parking & Transportation
Muni, rideshare, biking, or walking is recommended — parking nearby is limited, especially on weekends. If you’re driving, give yourself a little extra time to find street parking or nearby garages within walking distance.

Accessibility & Considerations
The venue has ground-floor access to the main space, though some areas are only accessible by stairs. If you have access needs, reach out and we’ll do our best to support you.

​This event includes music and dancing, with louder sound during the dance floor portion. No strobe lighting will be used.

​We’re committed to accessibility and creating an inclusive space. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests.


About the Future of Us Festival

​Launching on America’s 250th anniversary, the inaugural Future of Us festival is a 10-day celebration of civic imagination and possibility. We’re turning community-sourced, expert-crafted visions of the future into art, storytelling, and participatory experiences. With 100+ events spanning every corner of the city (floral labyrinths, speculative future worlds, dance parties with a purpose, and neighborhood meet-ups), it’s a living exploration of what a more creative and generative civic culture could feel like. Organized around four themes (Green Futures, Social Futures, Science & Tech Futures, and Media Futures), Future of Us is breaking down the barriers between art, ideas, and each other, and everyone is invited to co-imagine what comes next.

About the Future Culture Fellows Program

​The Future Culture Fellowship is a yearlong program that resources the people best positioned to shape the future of civic life in San Francisco: the community builders, artists, and grassroots visionaries already rooted in neighborhoods and traditions across the Bay. Fellows design and host original, science- and arts-centered experiences that reflect their unique perspectives on what’s possible, and become part of a growing Future Culture Collective dedicated to making civic life in SF more vibrant, connected, and imaginative. The event you’re signing up for was dreamed up by one of the 2026 Fellows.
