Lunch Beat is a midday dance meet-up originating in Stockholm, Sweden, which turns the business lunch hour into a club scene. Public monthly events are held in cities around Sweden, offering 60 minutes of energy release on the dance floor. The non-profit event is in stark contrast to the typical networking meet-ups of professional urban life; Lunch Beat specifically bans work conversation as a rule. -
