Bounce Twerk Wine (BTW) is Charlotte’s unapologetic dance floor escape where the bass hits your chest, your knees get tested and your worries don’t make it past the door. From New Orleans bounce to Jamaican dancehall, Afrobeats and the best twerk anthems from the 99 & the 2000s, the soundtrack is pure movement. BTW is more than a party it’s a full‑body release, a celebration and a space where every beat dares you to drop it just a little lower.
On Friday, September 26th from 8 PM to Midnight, Petra’s in Plaza Midwood transforms into a high‑energy, no‑wallflower zone. Expect a crowd that dances like nobody’s watching, DJs who know how to keep the floor packed and a night that feels like a sweaty, beautiful blur of laughter, rhythm and connection. Whether you come to bounce, twerk or wine, you’ll leave feeling lighter, freer and already waiting for the next one.
