The Deal: We provide water, a 1-hour DJ set and a takeaway healthy lunch. You show up and dance. We guarantee you'll leave feeling happier, smarter, and like you just had your best lunch ever. GOCA first brought Colorado Springs community Lunch Beat in 2012 and we are delighted to bring it back in person this August! Come dance Colorado Springs!

Lunch Beat was founded by Molly Ränge in June 2010, and the first event was arranged in the Fabel garage under Hötorget in the city of Stockholm, Sweden. 14 people attended the event. Now it's an international phenomenon, with a basic concept. The rules are simple:
