Yes. Dance Nite! Blacklight Glow Party is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Mac breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: DJ Dance Party events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Mac is a real local artist based in Portsmouth — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Wendy F. said: 'I really enjoyed the event. It was the first time I had attended a Paint Nite event. I am looking forward to doing another one in the future.'

Holiday Inn Portsmouth is a local venue in Portsmouth — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. DJ Dance Party events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Your ticket to Dance Nite! Blacklight Glow Party includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Mac. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Holiday Inn Portsmouth — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Holiday Inn Portsmouth's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Mac starts the painting.

You can reschedule your ticket to any other DJ Dance Party event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If DJ Dance Party cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.

This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future DJ Dance Party — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
