• D.I.S.C.O Fever at Dance Base

  Retro Fashion! Fog Machine! Disco Ball! Sky high platformed shoes! Bee Gees Music! Bright and funky colourful lights! Dance Base transformed its dance studio into a rocking Club last saturday night and boy were we psyched.

  

  Disco Fever hits everyone at Dance Base

  

  Disco performances rocked the dance floor

  We boogied long into the night and left supremely satisfied from a great '70s night out at Dance Base.

  Everyone came dressed to impress with bright, shiny, colourful, flamboyant (running out of adjectives here) and not forgetting, gravity-defying afro wigs. Check out the photos and videos we got and you'll see that we're not making any of this up!

  

  Disco Fashion had us all oohing and ahhing

  

  A whole lot of pointing done that night

• What are Clicket Blogs?

Every Friday, Clicket peruses the weekend calendar of arts and cultural things to do in Edinburgh. We decide on 3; one on Friday, another on Saturday and (why not) a third on Sunday.

On our #FollowFriday tweet, @ClicketEdin recommends the folks who present these events and venture out – camera in hand and hearts expectant.

It’s not a retrospective blog though. Because we do our best to tell you what’s on next in those places we’ve been to so you can use our nifty “My Clicket” tool to plan your own weekend’s itinerary. Do remember you need to have registered and logged in to be able to make use of this part of Clicket.
