Ecstatic Dance London (URUBU)
Arriving alone is the norm here rather than the exception, and the no-phones floor means the same faces become familiar by movement before you ever learn names.
What it is
Sober, barefoot, phone-free dance floors run by the URUBU collective since 2009, with live percussion and DJs instead of a bar.
When
weekly (multiple sessions per week across venues; Eventbrite organiser page active)
Where
Tufnell Park / Islington + central venues
Who it's for
People who want to dance hard without alcohol, small talk or anyone filming it.
First time
Book on Eventbrite, popular sessions sell out. Arrive in time for the opening circle, wear clothes you can sweat in, tickets from about £15.
