The Uprising by Dr Joseph DiBattista

The Uprising is a sunrise dance event in Manly featuring live music by DJ Solfa Frequency, who specializes in downtempo, ambient, tribal, and organic house sets tuned to the moment. Held on April 23, 2026, from 6:00 AM to 7:15 AM at North Steyne Surf Life Saving Club, it emphasizes movement, community connection, and nature amid the beach sunrise. Participants are encouraged to wear activewear or beachwear and bring water bottles and good vibes, with an optional ocean dip afterward. Kids under 16 enter free and are explicitly welcome, though noise-cancelling headphones are suggested due to loud music. Organized by Emma, a local mindset and energy coach, the event aims to energize attendees for the week ahead.
