Welcome to the Lights Out And Dance Me-Time Movement.
Where dancing joy, connection and community are at the heart of what we do!
Discover why we’re the Gold Coast’s hidden gem – creating a space and home to the greatest dancing community on earth, who’ve been dancing in the dark together now for almost a decade (and still going strong!).
If you’re ready to escape the daily grind, release stress and rediscover yourself through the joy of dance, then join us each week and indulge in an hour dedicated to YOU.
Step into a world so uniquely exhilarating where you can escape to let go, move how you feel, and leave your stress at the door. This is your weekly dose of pure joy, self-care and seriously good vibes. It’s not just dancing – it’s a physical release, an emotional reset, and a double hit of endorphins and dopamine that’ll leave you glowing. Total liberation, guaranteed.
By joining our Me-Time Movement, you’ll discover joy, connection and belonging in a welcoming, judgement-free community. Lights Out And Dance is all about creating an inclusive, uplifting space where YOU come first.
We’re so thrilled you’ve found our tribe! Lights Out was born from a desire to bring back that feeling of dancing with your friends until the early hours — minus the heels, hangovers, and drama. No steps to learn, no teacher to follow — just a safe, supportive space where you can let go and dance how you feel.
So what happens at a Lights Out session?
We turn the lights down, crank the music up, and dance our hearts out for a full hour. No mirrors. No judgement. No pressure. Just you, the music, and the freedom to move however your body wants to. You might be dancing solo in your own little world, or feeding off the buzz of the group — there’s no right or wrong way to do it.
Why join us?
Lights Out is your weekly me-time — a date with yourself to shake it all out and let your body move however it wants. Sure, it might feel strange the first time, but by the end you’ll be grinning, cheering, and drenched in happy sweat like the rest of us. Think nightclub vibes, without the crowd or the creeps — just good people, good tunes, and a whole lot of joy.
Benefits of dancing in the dark:
- Stress relief through movement and music
- A space to recharge and feel amazing
- Fun and free — like dancing used to be!
- The greatest community on earth
- A great place to create new friendships
- Improves balance, coordination, and cardiovascular health.
- No pressure, no judgement, no choreography
No dance experience needed.
You might think you can’t dance, but who’s the judge at Lights Out? No one! You don’t need to “know how to dance”, you just need to move! Everyone is welcome, every body is a dance body, and every playlist is packed with bangers from all decades and genres.
Meet some of our regulars:
