As tomorrow marks the first anniversary of Our Social Space transitioning into Dance Addiction as our community venue, it felt like the right time to share something special.

𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗲 is the first of two short films created with our dance community as part of the NI Now Project. Filmed in 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺, it tells the story of a curious lost sole who stumbles into a lively Cotton Club-style gathering and discovers a welcoming world of rhythm, connection and social dancing.

This film was brought to life by our 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀, with an imaginative story written by 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗲 and creative direction from 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸. It captures the creativity, humour and sense of belonging that are such an important part of Our Social Space.

We’re proud to share this film as part of our contribution to the Northern Ireland Digital Archives, with a second short film to follow soon.
