Welcome to No Lights No Lycra Hurstbridge Term One of 2026!
Is your body crying out to dance again? 🤚
👉Term one will commence on Monday the 9th of February, so you have the first week of term to get your routine settled, before the fun begins! There are seven sessions in term one, with a week off on the 9th of March for Labour day.
If you've never been along before, you're in for a treat. You'll find dance moves you didn't know you had, meet friendly locals and go on all sorts of musical journeys.
I guarantee you will enjoy a night of movement, probably some nostalgia and a few musical discoveries, and most importantly enjoy total dance floor freedom!
If you’re looking forward to getting back on the dance floor… or planning to come along for the first time, this post has everything you need to know.
We dance like nobody’s watching every Monday night during school term time 7.30-8.30pm. (Minus the dates mentioned above)
Hurstbridge Hall
974 Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd, Hurstbridge
(Opposite Hurstbridge Primary School)
$10/$8 concession (companion cards welcomed, companion dances for free)
Square reader available for credit card purchases, or correct cash on arrival. You may also choose to pre-buy with credit card at this link: https://square.link/u/13L9Qq5F
Bookings: No need to book, however if you pre-buy your entry I can contact you in the event of a last-minute cancellation due to illness. I can’t guarantee that I will have change, so please aim to bring correct cash.
Class Pass: If you’ve become a regular, or want to be one… save money by pre-purchasing a six-class dance pass. You pay for five classes and the sixth class is free. This is also available at the link above. These are available as both full and concession priced passes.
What to wear: Whatever you like! (Despite the name, there is a lot of active wear at NLNL) Be prepared to get sweaty. Please cover any fit bits to avoid flashing extra light on the dance floor).
What to bring: You’ll definitely want a drink bottle
Parking and entry: There is plenty of parking available in the car park alongside the hall. Entry is via the green, back door off the car park. The foyer has ramp access and is available as needed. I keep an eye on it until 7.30pm, but you can also message me in advance if you need to enter this way and I will ensure it is left open until you arrive.
Running Late: The back door will be open until 7.40pm, so feel free to join us if you are late and we are already dancing, just give your eyes a moment to adjust before finding a spot! There is no entry after 7.40pm as the doors will be locked.
The facilities: Hurstbridge Hall is a fantastic hall (opposite Hurstbridge Primary school), with plenty of space to spread out. There is a large separate foyer if you need to take a break, and a kitchen to refill your water bottle. Entry via the foyer is wheelchair accessible and there is a wheelchair accessible toilet.
Cancellations: I run NLNL Hurstbridge by myself, so there may be times when I need to cancel the session at the last moment. Please get in the habit of checking this page before leaving home to check there hasn’t been a cancellation notice. If you pre-buy your entry I will be able to notify you directly.
Song Requests: I love including your song requests. You are always welcome to message me or comment on a post with a song you would love to dance to. I aim to have the song lists finalised 24 hours before the session, but you are welcome to contact me on the day if you’re coming along and if I have a chance, I will shuffle things around to get your song in.
Sound levels: I aim to keep the music to a comfortable level and check in regularly with attendees to see if the volume suits them. We like it loud enough so that you can sing along without offending anyone! If you are concerned that the sound level will not be to your liking, I recommend bringing a pair of disposable ear plugs just in case. And if you wish to come regularly you may like to consider some re-useable ones.
Additional needs: If there is any way I can assist you to make this an experience that you can access and enjoy, please send me a message. Companion cards are welcomed and if you require a companion to attend, your companion attends for free.
How does NLNL work?: The lights go off, and the music goes on! We all find our patch of the dance floor and keep to ourselves, however there is plenty of room to accomodate your big dance moves. As our eyes adjust we can see enough to know where other people are, so we never bump into each other. It's a talk free zone, but singing, cheering and clapping feel great. This is a time to lose yourself in the music and move your body however you like.
I can’t wait to get dancing again. I love the community we are building at NLNL Hurstbridge and look forward to seeing you all again and meeting those who are yet to join us.
