Viva La Rave ! New ‘feel good vibe’ clubbing experience in Lincoln
Experience the ultimate good-vibe evening at Lincoln's newest and most unique sober dance clubbing event—Viva La Rave!
Step into the transformed ambience of a former church venue—Southside, for an electrifying night of rhythm and beats through a journey of house, rave, and lots more funky beats, curated by two exceptional local DJs.
Whether you're looking for new ways to feel a natural bliss or if you’re a little sober-curious, this is the event to embrace the magic of dancing and still feel amazing the next day.
Viva La Rave has been created by Hannah, of Dance Free, and Jo from Mothership DJ collective who share a love of dancing and a passion for the joy, freedom and release it can bring. Hannah and Jo wanted to set up a night which provides a positive welcoming space to enjoy dancing and focus on the music, without the need for alcohol/substances.
Sober raving has become increasingly popular in recent years, with events cropping up all over the country. There are many different reasons why alcohol and substance free club nights are appealing to people who love a boogie including good health and wellness, or freedom from hangovers, and they can be for people who drink sometimes but just fancy a break.
Both from Lincolnshire, these music fanatics have launched Viva La Rave to bring this exciting Sober Rave to Lincoln for the first time.
Hannah is passionate about creating positive change by offering everyday dance experiences, running uplifting Dance Free CIC events across the county and beyond. These allow anyone who feels the call to boogie an opportunity to do so in a welcoming space, often taking place in natural surroundings.
When asked where this idea came from Hannah said;
“I’ve always loved dancing and clubbing; 10 years ago I started on a journey of wellbeing and I searched for ways to recreate the thrill and buzz of raving while remaining sober. This inspired my journey across the world; experiencing places to dance with others and still feeling wild, free and blissfully connected to music without the alcohol. It has transformed my life and fuelled my passion to bring this kind of experience to my hometown, Lincoln.”
Jo DJs as part of the Mothership DJ collective, two women who started DJing late in life as mums in their 30's and have organised their own club nights and live-streaming events as well as DJing at local clubs and festivals. Jo has also run local DJ workshops focusing on increasing access for women and other groups who have traditionally felt excluded from DJing.
Jo told of us her drives for creating this event;
“I love to dance and go clubbing but I don’t always like the boozy culture that can go with it. I want to enjoy raving as much as possible whilst still feeling good the next day! I know from DJing that I can be sober and still enjoy the music and the buzz from dancing with a crowd of fellow ravers, so I wanted to set up a sober rave locally to encourage other people to try it in a welcoming, safe space.”
The next Viva La Rave is on 28th April from 14:00 to 17:00.
