Brighten up Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, with a Blues Brother's themed dance party. Learn the moves to Mess Around and Shake a Tail Feather then boogie to the most danceable tunes of the 1980 cult musical. We'll end with an open-mic karaoke.

The event takes place on zoom and you'll receive the zoom link in your ticket confirmation.

The event is free to keep it accessible to everyone in these tough times. If you can, please contribute to our fundraiser for Trussel Trust food banks.

About Nobody's Watching Online Dance Parties

When not in lockdown, Nobody's Watching hosts feel-good silent disco events.

When in lockdown, we're encouraging you to keep singing and dancing with us from your own homes. When the virus isolates us, we'll use music to stay connected. Uplifting music, everybody welcome, child friendly.

Here’s how it works:

- There’s a playful total-beginner dance tutorial at the beginning to kick things off in style and get you ready to dance like Nobody’s Watching. For this event, we'll be learning some simplified moves to Mess Around and Shake a Tail Feather.

- After the warm up, it’s freestyle dancing to your own groove. There are no right or wrong moves and there's no judgement. Do whatever you feel like doing. Want to air guitar? Go for it! Want do a funky chicken? Funk that chicken, baby. Want to just close your eyes and get lost in the music? You do you.

- The playlists are greatest hits that you’re encouraged to sing along to. This is communal breaking out into song and dance.

- The music is upbeat and fast; it will keep you moving and you’ll find that by the end you’ve accidentally done a great cardio work out.

- We’ll use Zoom.us. You’ll need to download it in advance. Find it here https://zoom.us/download (mobile and desktop friendly)

- We'll have our cameras on. This is to help create a safe space where we're all dancing together instead of wondering who the people behind the hidden cameras are.

- I will stream the audio from my laptop to yours: the quality will be as good as your own speakers.

- When you connect, introduce yourself by saying your name and where you’re connecting from on the chat.

- Mics are muted except the big hello at the start and the big sing-along on the last song
