The Loft was the location for the first underground dance party (called Love Saves the Day) organized by David Mancuso on February 14 1970 in New York City. Since then the term The Loft has come to represent Mancuso’s own version of a non-commercial party where no alcohol food or beverages are sold. Mancuso’s vision of a private party is similar to and inspired by the rent party and house party. Unlike conventional nightclubs or discotheques attendance is by invitation only.
