Cheetatah Presents: House of Sparkle
ft. Cheetatah, Vetica, SK, Tad Cautious (Vinyl Set), & Amplify Collective (DJ Bestie, DJ Desert Raven, Frogsynth, & DJ Love).
Screw the sales. Buy yourself a night to remember. This Black Friday, skip the parking lot battles and the stuff nobody needs, and spend your night on something FUN: House of Sparkle. Picture it. The lights drop, the disco balls start spinning, and the whole room catches fire in shimmer and sequins. Think Studio 54 meets Vermont: a room full of your people, dressed to dazzle and ready to let every bit of the year fall off them on the dance floor. The dress code is simple: sparkle is required, formal is optional, and fun is mandatory. Not sparkly enough? Our glitter bar will glam you up. Strike a pose in the photo booth, find your crew, and remember that the best thing you can buy this season is a memory made right here in your own community. The night opens with warm vinyl grooves by Tad Cautious, rolls into sets from rising DJs from DJ Love's Amplify Collective stepping into the spotlight for the very first time, heats up with SK, and builds to sets from Vetica and CHEETATAH, fresh off the playa and still glowing from Burning Man. They're bringing that desert magic home to Vermont, serving up the Groovy Electric House that blends disco, funk, and house into pure, sweaty, hands in the air joy. It's the kind of night where strangers become friends, your cheeks hurt from smiling, and you walk out into the cold November air feeling more alive than you have in months. Grab your friends and find your sparkliest outfit. House of Sparkle on Black Friday. See you on the dance floor.

CHEETATAH is a DJ/producer and Queen of Groovy Electric House — the genre where disco makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, funk hits you in the hips, and something in the groove makes you just go completely wild.
A former NBA cheerleader turned vibe architect and mix-tape is her love language. Every track is chosen with one question: what does this room need right now? What do these people need to feel?
Her sets are journeys, not playlists that demand you to play — a funky disco edit slides into the Grateful Dead, Mister Rogers gets reworked into something you'd dance to at 2am, and things that shouldn't make sense next to each other somehow make total sense once you're in it.
The result is raw stage presence, funk-soaked drops, and euphoric energy that is part party, part permission slip. Whether she's headlining a festival, igniting a warehouse, or leading a sunrise retreat set, CHEETATAH brings the glitter, the grit, and the kind of freedom you feel in your bones. You've never heard a genre that feels exactly like this. Because there's only one CHEETATAH.

Sarah Kennedy, known as SK, is a rising DJ in Burlington's electronic music scene, bringing a unique, funky, housey sound to every set. Over the past few years she has been stepping into her role as a DJ with the purpose of learning how to build: build a community of connection and togetherness, and speaking without words through the music she plays.
Music has shaped Sarah's whole life, from the elementary school music room to the living room, the car, theaters, festivals, and shows spanning every genre, each leaving its own lingering ripple of energy. Now, behind the decks, she gets to keep chasing those magical, serendipitous moments where you find your Self by losing yourself on the dance floor.
Sarah describes how she hears music in her headphones: "I see colors and patterns that change. They swirl around and alternate in direction, angles, spirals and even music notes bouncing up and down staircases. It's incredible to experience and hard to describe." She invites you to step into her musical world of Fragmental Zigzag and let it move you
