What is NLNL?

No Lights No Lycra (NLNL) offers a welcoming space for people to dance freely in a friendly, non-threatening, drug- and alcohol-free environment. With the lights dimmed, everyone can dance without worrying about their appearance. Please refrain from using phones on or around the dance floor. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to dance independently in the company of others. Talking is discouraged to enhance the experience.

Why are there tickets?

Due to limited space, we kindly ask that you obtain a ticket in advance. Tickets are a $15 suggested donation. It is important to us that NLNL remains accessible so do not worry if you do not have the mean—no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Folks will be admitted at the door until capacity is reached and cash donations are accepted.

Why collaborate with the cafe and Prime Produce?

We’re pleased to be hosting NLNL with the support of Prime Produce, a cooperatively-run building home to a diverse ecosystem of friends, family, and neighbors who deepen their relationships through collaborating on community service projects. We are aligned with their values and want to create mutual benefit within it’s ecosystem. We hope that the cafe can provide a space for dancers looking for a place to socialize with each other and the Prime Produce community after the last song plays.
