A year later, that much slower and closer, Slow Dance Social returns to the Bella Union to directly combat depression and anxiety and raise funds for Mind Australia - supporting mental health recovery.

This time with special guests and live band The Velvet Bunnies!

This dancecard-driven, non-heternormative slow dance night celebrates all that is vintage and slow - delayed gratification, conscientious communication and sweet, soulful tunes to sway along too.

The evening starts with a short lesson on how to ask for and accept (or refuse!) dances, decide who's going to lead (it's not gender specific!) and how to hold each other for maximum benefit for all. 24 dances follow, interspersed with breaks for refreshments and door prize giveaways from fabulous and generous sponsors. And this time there will be cake!!

In an age where physical contact is a scarce commodity, the event brings strangers safely together with all the romance and charming awkwardness of a high school dance without the angst and paranoia- it's high school with a happy ending!

Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is (regretfully) not required.

Finally, you do not have to be queer to attend this party, but you must have an open mind, an open heart and open arms.

This event consistently sells out - book early to avoid disappointment.

DOORS OPEN @ 7.30PM ~ DANCING UNTIL LATE!

All ticket proceeds and patron donations go to MIND Australia.
