No Lights No Lycra (NLNL) is a dance party held in complete darkness. There is no light, no lycra, no teacher, no steps to learn, just free movement.

At NLNL the lights are kept low so people can shake it all out without worrying about how they look. Like the Spice Girls said, “don’t care how you look—it’s just how you feel”.

7.45pm, 8.45pm (45-minute sessions) Every Friday Cleland Bond, Playfair Street Free
