No Lights No Lycra is...
Good, clean fun
A place for people to come and dance freely in a friendly, non-threatening, drug and alcohol-free atmosphere.
Freeing
With lights low, we can dance like no one's watching. It's not about technique or being a ‘good’ dancer, it's about the joy of moving.
Inclusive
Making dance accessible for everyone – all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities.
Accepting
A place to shake out the stresses of the week, let go of your inhibitions and completely be yourself. No judgement.
