Lance Bass is kicking off the month of May with a special collaboration. The singer teamed with Marriott Bonvoy for a one-of-a-kind dance experience that *NSYNC fans won’t want to miss.
Announced Wednesday (May 1), the private dance experience is part of Marriott Bonvoy Moments’ 1-Point Drops, where members can use just 1 point to bid on epic experiences.
“I was excited for this opportunity with Marriott, so I can connect with the fans and do something super exclusive with them and of course, we’re going to do some amazing, fun dancing together,” Bass said in a phone interview with Billboard on Monday. “I won’t tell you exactly the song we’re going to do, but it’s a one-hour dance class where we let go of all our inhibitions, dance like nobody’s watching, and have a really fun time.
“And of course, we’re going to take center stage for a final performance all together,” he added. “It’ll be fun.”

TikTok dance duo Cost n’ Mayor will join Bass for the “nostalgic dance class” set to take place at Heart WeHo in West Hollywood, Calif., on Friday, July 26. The dance experience will include a meet-and-greet and photo opportunities with Bass and Cost n’ Mayor.
Marriott Bonvoy Moments gives members the opportunity to use their points to gain access to unique experiences and other activities offered for set price, auctions, or for just one point. Guests can bid on the 1-Point Drop with Lance Bass and Cost n’ Mayor Dance Experience starting Thursday (May 2) at noon ET.
And fans don’t need previous experience to hit the dance floor. “You’ll be surprised what a choreographer can get you to do within an hour,” Bass said. “So yeah, by the end of this, no one’s going to be nervous. They’re going to have so much fun, they’re going to beg to do it again.”
Bass, who hosts the podcast Frosted Tips, recently returned back to the States from Egypt, where he attended the wedding of billionaire Ankur Jain and former WWE star Erika Hammond and did an impromptu performance of *NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye.”
“I don’t think there’s been a wedding in the last 25 years that I haven’t just got up onstage, maybe had a couple of drinks beforehand [and performed] ‘Bye, Bye, Bye.’”
The song is still a fan favorite more than 20 years after it was released. “It’s always ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ that everyone wants at their wedding. Especially at the end,” Bass said. “It’s funny because [‘Bye, Bye, Bye’] wasn’t even our biggest song, but I think it’s one of the most memorable. It’s because you can fit it in to so many different situations. Saying ‘bye, bye, bye’ to anything. It’s also nostalgic [and] I think people are wanting that right now.”
Speaking of nostalgia, Bass and the rest of *NSYNC joined Justin Timberlake for a surprise performance in March, and while no official reunion tour has been announced, Bass will likely attend Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which launched in Vancouver, B.C., on April 29.
“This summer I’m really going to take some time off, enjoy traveling with the kids,” said Bass, who shares 2-year-old twins with husband Michael Turchin. “Go see the grandparents down in Miami and Mississippi. Go visit my friends in New York City, maybe go see Justin [Timberlake] on a couple of shows because I know he starts the tour [April 29], which we’re super excited for. I just want to eat up every moment I can with the kids these days.”
