I assume the all ages notice on the website is all ages over 18?

Has this happened before? Anyone gone?

Cazlou

Does it say All-ages? I didn't notice that! Nope that means 'ALL AGES' under-18's and all!:eek:;)

redcrew

To be honest, that puts me out of going... I like the idea of an over-18s one though

Dagon

When I imagine it I can only think of Graham Norton's priest and his cronies in the caravan on Father Ted.

Participants of all ages fill the spacious dance floor with very danceable music from around the world or lounge on giant Budda Bags in the chill-out area. There are organic snacks, chocolate treats, hot drinks, juices and smoothies available in The Funky Seomra cafe area, which offers very affordable prices. Stunning visuals, lush lighting, top class sound systems, live African drumming, along with the friendly welcoming atmosphere are some of the ingredients which make this such a special night out.


‘The Funky Seomra, going there was probably the best decision I have made this year’, Patrick. Eleanor, another participant had this to say: “It was the most mesmerisingly amazing night of dance!” Valerie said “It was a beautiful event… so much more than just a dance event.


Imagine yourself on a night out in an exciting club atmosphere where you’re free to dance anyway you like without limitations, to the lush beats of funky world music accompanied by live African drummers. All this in a vibrant ecstatic atmosphere without alcohol or drugs.


David Mooney, who runs the event, said ‘This is what I have been looking for in Dublin for a long time: a good Saturday night out dedicated to dance, with a great club atmosphere without the alcohol or drugs. I began to speak to my friends about this and realised that many people have wanted exactly the same thing for a long time.’

I heard this is coming to Galway again this Xmas on the 5th December in Druid theatre.

I've gone to it a good few times in the RDS in Dublin, has always been a good night. Might make it to the Galway one this December!?

Just to note for everyone - I see from their website dancefree.ie that there's no longer a discount rate at the door.

I like the sound of an event like this but have had a look at some of the galleries on their website and it looks fairly hippyish. Lots of bare footed people out dancing etc. Do 'normal' people really go to the likes of this?
