A Bondi Festival 2024 event.

Taking inspiration from the peak dance hall and disco eras of the 1960s and 70s, The Bondi Social asks the question, did disco really kill the old-time dance? Did pop music really kill the disco? Whatever your take on it, the heart of dancing to music, together, with friends and with strangers, lives on at The Bondi Social. Whether you have a dance partner, like a night out on the town, or enjoy rocking out solo in your bedroom, The Bondi Social is the place for you at Bondi Festival!

In the lead up to Saturday 20th July,  DMC is excited to share with you, regardless of your style, a variety of tools and tactics to infect the dance floor. Imagine a brand new Nutbush, a flash mob, a simple and elegant partner dance, an infectious groove and other highly social, super danceable routines you can learn with ease and share with others in real time. We’re offering a free workshop to The Bondi Social ticket holders to learn the moves, the rules of the game, that we will spring on patrons at The Bondi Social. The workshop is suitable for anyone who loves to dance. Whether or not you have a partner, no matter what dance you practice, this workshop is for you!

Workshop: Tuesday 16 July, 6pm - 8.30pm 

The Bondi Social: Saturday 20 July, 7pm - 9.30pm
