Kaleidoscope XXL - Saturday night at The Hideout

A gig on Saturday 9th March. The event starts at 20:00.


Kaleidoscope XXL is all about the music. If you’ve been to one of our monthly nights then imagine that, cranked up 6 notches.

WE WANT ALL OF YOU

We throw dance parties where all bodies are invited. You already know how to dance, we're just here to give you permission to embrace all of the ways your body wants to move.

Come alone, come with friends, dip in a toe or plunge in the deep end. However you want to party, we're here for it.

So that everyone feels safe to unleash their full selves on the dancefloor our only rule is to be excellent to one another (aka the "don't be an asshole" policy). What does that mean? We expect you to be great at respecting other peoples' boundaries and bodies, to pay attention, and to use your words if you're unsure. Trust us, asking is way less awkward than getting it wrong.

THREE NIGHTS OF GREAT MUSIC

Our musical goals for Kaleidoscope XXL are to:
- Broaden the range of music we dance to in fusion
- Platform artists who are left out of the mainstream

Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re abandoning the classic floor-fillers. We’ve already got several live acts in the works that we are very excited about, and a list of DJ’s to make you swoon.

OUR NIGHTS

Friday: 8pm to 3am
Saturday: 8pm to 4am two rooms
Sunday: 8pm to 1.30am (tickets here: https://hdfst.uk/e103152)

OUR DAYS

We'll also have daytime skill shares showcasing our best local talent, so if you're newer to fusion you have some tricks to bring to the dancefloor each night.

BROKE?

If you can't afford a ticket and want to come dancing, no worries, our single night tickets are full sliding scale for Kaleidoscope XXL.

WTF IS FUSION?

Fusion is partner dancing, without the baggage. We're not here to stick to a rigid set of steps, but to actually dance with another person to good music on a night out. Fusion is all about improvisation, connecting with your partner and seeing what happens. We don't care if you've never danced before, as long as you're having a good time.

Fusion gets it's name from fusing different styles of dance - maybe you've danced blues, tango, lindy, west coast swing or hip hop or maybe you just like to get on the dance floor and shake it, you have something to bring!

For us, fusion is more than a dance, it's also a way of living the future we want to build. That means it is queer, it is feminist, and we don't want anyone left behind.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
