Squeeze a little love for our city stores and cafes into your week. Start your day with a free gig at your favourite cafe, stop for lunch at one of the curated in-store performances, and bust out with an evening dance class. All free, all for you, all working week.
1. MORNING RITUAL: Morning. The world’s best reason for getting up a little early. 2012 Self-Made star Ali Bird is re-creating her popular Morning Ritual, especially for Look.Stop Bop. Make your way to a selection of Melbourne’s greatest hidden cafes and kick start your day with a hot cuppa joe and a healthy dose of tunes. Local dreamboat bands will delight your ears, while talented baristas grind and pour. Rise and shine, kids – your weekday morning just got a whole lot sweeter.

2. RECORD STORE INSTORES: Lunchtime. It happens every day. And usually, it’s not terribly exciting. But for five days straight, you’re being given the license to have a seriously good time. Grab a sandwich, pick up a salad or hell, go hungry. Five of Melbourne’s favourite city record stores are hosting free lunchtime performances, individually curated for MMW. Lunchtime just got a whole lot more interesting.

3. AFTER WORK. Night. Stretch out that computer hunch and shake your money-maker at one of two after-work dance classes. MMW have recruited the best dance troupes in Melbourne to hold mad-cap free-for-alls in a variety of retail spaces. Before and after the dance classes, DJs will be keeping the beat alive. Have a drink, peruse the shops, and let the dance adventure continue.
