✨ **MEET MEGAN** ✨
Time to meet another one of our NLNL Darwin regulars — **Megan!**
Megan first discovered No Lights No Lycra through Frankie magazine, started dancing with NLNL in Ballarat, and was very happy to find us again when she moved to Darwin. We asked her a few questions about why she keeps coming back…
**1. How did you first discover No Lights No Lycra?**
I first read about NLNL in a Frankie magazine article and first started going to NLNL in 2019 when I lived in Ballarat. I was so glad to find that Darwin had a NLNL too when I came up in 2021.
**2. What made you come back after your first session?**
It was so much fun to have a boogie to danceable tunes (the kind of stuff you dance to in the kitchen), and I left with a huge grin on my face. I also love coming early and having a chat with all the other regulars each week while we wait for the music to start.
**3. How does NLNL make you feel?**
I always describe the vibe as though you’re having the best solo dance party in your bedroom. I love getting to dance intuitively and with no inhibitions. It’s also helped my confidence and caring less about what I look like when dancing in daylight.
**4. What would you say to someone who's thinking about coming but feels nervous?**
Come and give it a go! It’s so freeing to dance in whatever way the music makes you feel and there is no dress code. I’ve even worn my pyjamas before!
Enjoy Peru 🥾

✨ **MEET MICHELLE** ✨

Michelle is a pretty special part of the NLNL Darwin story — not only a regular dancer, but one-third of the little trio behind it. 🖤 She’s now departed Darwin for her next adventure, and we’ll definitely miss her beautiful energy on our Tuesday nights. Her words perfectly capture what NLNL is all about — **pure joy, zero judgement and always feeling better for having danced.** 💃

💬 **How did you first hear about NLNL?**
Through some beautiful friends who had been to NLNL in Darwin.

💬 **What do you remember most about your first session?**
What a high I felt after my first session — pure joy!

💬 **How does NLNL make you feel?**
So good!! So often on a Tuesday I would rather just stay on the couch, but I go and get to dance my heart out to great tunes with no judgement! I always feel better!

💬 **What would you say to someone thinking about coming along?**
Just give it a go. It’s a zero judgement space. There are regulars, there are people who come now and then, and there are people who come and try and realise it’s not for them. Either way it’s all good, you will be greeted with a warm welcome and zero expectations! You won’t regret it!

🖤 **Thanks, Michelle, for being such a special part of NLNL Darwin. We’ll miss you!**

What a night ❤️

Next up is the fabulous Becky — and there’s definitely a theme to her answers… happy. ☺️

🪩 MEET BECKY 🪩
Another NLNL Darwin regular ❤️

We asked our regular dancers why they come to No Lights No Lycra and what dancing in the dark means to them.

💃 How did you first discover NLNL?
“I was moving to Darwin from Tassie and knew I needed to meet people quickly.
I wanted somewhere I could dance for fun, without alcohol, without getting hit on and without worrying about my safety.
Someone suggested NLNL — and happily, it was exactly what I was looking for!”

🪩 What made you want to come back?
“The happy energy.
The welcome was generous, the cost fits my budget, the room is dark but not too dark, and there are happy, no-expectations goodbyes at the end.
Then walking out into the glorious post-sunset warmth of Darwin with a big smile.
Nothing beats that.”

🎶 How does NLNL make you feel?
“Happy. (See, there’s a theme here! ☺️)
At the end of a hard day, NLNL lets me pound out my energy without worrying what anyone thinks of my sometimes very bad dancing.
We are all just doing our own thing together.
I feel full of joy when I walk out.”

❤️ What would you say to someone thinking about giving NLNL a go?
“Come along.
After a year of NLNL, I’m more confident in myself and more comfortable dancing anywhere.
It’s dark, but not too dark. Everyone is doing their own thing and nobody is paying attention to how anyone else dances.
No judgement. No awkwardness.
It’s so easy. Come along.”

We reckon Becky captured something pretty special here:
“We are all just doing our own thing together.” 🖤

Thanks for sharing your story, Becky — and for bringing your happy energy into the dark with us. 🪩
