Christmas Silent Disco - GROOVE with Rikke

Wild & Wiser is a Dorset festival and community created by women, bringing women together to rest, renew, dance, laugh, learn and connect. This Christmas, we’re throwing one festive night to bring that spirit indoors (or out on the terrace, weather permitting).

Groove takes a silent disco, where everyone wears wireless headphones, and turns it into one guided dance party. Instead of everyone doing their own thing, Rikke leads the whole room through super simple moves together. The golden rule is that you can’t get it wrong. You take the rhythm and express it completely your own way.

Groove was one of the most loved sessions at the Wild & Wiser festival in September. If you were there, come and do it again. If you’re new, this is a lovely way to find out what we’re about.

Who it’s for

Created by women, for women, trans women and non-binary people. We trust you to choose thoughtfully and respect the spirit of the evening.

Age 18+

What’s included

• Your silent disco session with Rikke, headphones provided
• A hot or cold drink, alcoholic or soft

Also on the night

• A small Christmas market from a handful of local female-founded brands, so you can pick up Christmas gifts and support local women founders at the same time
• Food from a local supplier, available to buy (details to follow)
• A chance to meet founder Kelly and hear what’s coming next September

What to wear
If it’s dry, we’ll be dancing on the terrace, so wrap up warm. Sequins and Christmas jumpers are very welcome, but come as you are and feel comfortable. Please wear sensible shoes rather than heels, as the terrace is shingle. If you have reusable lights or glow accessories, bring them along, but please no single-use glow sticks.

Weather
We’re hoping for the terrace, but if the weather has other ideas we’ll move into one of the house’s beautiful indoor rooms. We’ll confirm the day before.

When: Saturday 5 December, 5pm to 7:30pm. You’ll be home in time for a bit of Strictly.
Where: Kingston Maurward House, Dorchester, Dorset

Places are limited to 50, so bring your friends and book together.
