Have you ever wanted to let loose on the dancefloor without a care in the world?
No Lights No Lycra (NLNL) at North Lakes is the perfect place to do it! With no judgement, no fuss and no pressure, NLNL is a weekly freeform dance session in the dark, open to everyone in the community aged 12 and up.
As the host/ambassador for NLNL Morayfield to Brisbane, Teena Andrews loves music and dancing and is passionate about sharing NLNL with everyone.
“One of the things I love about NLNL is the opportunity to provide a safe space for anyone and everyone to dance and move their bodies,” Teena said.
“We are inclusive and non-judgemental – to feel included and to dance without judgement is pretty empowering and so great for physical and mental health. We share our space with dancers from all walks and wheels of life.”
Teena first went to a NLNL session on the Sunshine Coast just over three-and-a-half years ago with her husband and a friend not really knowing what to expect. She fell in love with the idea and hasn’t looked back, encouraging others to come along and feel the same enjoyment.
Dance Like No One’s Watching at No Lights No Lycra
“Our dancers enjoy a wide range of music, dance how they want, wear what they want (including Lycra) and they love that,” she said.
“It’s like being at a nightclub without the alcohol or drugs – loud music, singing, cheering, clapping and busting out some fabulous ‘moves’.
“We encourage people to come and dance in the dark, let loose, feel free and enjoy that hour of YOU time. NLNL is absolutely the place to dance like no one is watching.”
Teena makes it all happen with her “crew” – husband Graeme, daughter Kelsi plus Kyra, Kelly and Michael, who volunteer their time and energy to bring the NLNL sessions to life.
“We absolutely have fun and enjoy interacting with our dancers,” Teena said. “To see the smiles on dancer’s faces as they tumble out the door after each session is truly rewarding.
“If you love music and dancing but are hesitant about dancing in public, NLNL is the perfect thing for that because no one can see you.”
Each class is $10, with discounted rates for concession card holders and seniors over 70.
