Quotes from Ambassadors
I love how pure the fun of NLNL is. It's always the nights when I've had a busy or rough day and I'm scrambling to pull the list together and get set up, that end up being the best and most joyous.

How do I start one up?

Please consider the following questions before starting a NLNL:
Have you got a suitable venue in mind?
Eg. One that has a sound system and can be darkened.
Can you afford the upfront cost of starting a NLNL?
Eg. music licensing, public liability insurance (can be paid monthly), venue hire, NLNL start-up fee.
Are you thinking of running NLNL on your own or with a team?
It’s great to have more than one person to help share the load and spread the word.
What avenues do you have for promotion? Are you social media savvy?
Social media has always been our most successful form of promotion.
Have you got the time and are you committed to running a weekly event?
In our experience, weekly events are far more successful long term compared to monthly events. It can also take time for NLNL communities to grow, so we recommend running for at least 1 year. Persistence pays off!
Becoming a NLNL Ambassador

As an Ambassador for NLNL we are putting our faith in you to maintain the integrity of NLNL and uphold our core values.
NLNL is a global dance community based on equal access for all. The bigger dance communities support the smaller ones.
To become an Ambassador for NLNL and run a night in your city you will need to agree to the conditions in the NLNL License Agreement. The License Agreement is there to protect the core values and the integrity of NLNL.

As an Ambassador you will be supported in a myriad of ways including:
- A starter pack – including detailed starter manual on how to run a successful NLNL night, with FAQs and a playlist guide.
- Regularly updated press kit
- Posters, photographs, letterhead, social media images.
- Promotion of your NLNL night on our website, through social networks and a monthly newsletter.
- A personal Ambassador’s profile on the NLNL website
- On-going support and advice from the NLNL Ambassador Facebook page.
- A licence to use the NLNL logo and branding for the weekly dance night*.
- Access to NLNL playlists through Spotify (for offline access you will need to subscribe to Spotify for $12 per month).
- Free entry to NLNL weekly dance nights around the world.
*The license agreement entitles you as an Ambassador to run one weekly dance session per week. If you want to run multiple sessions in your community this will require an additional license agreement to be signed.
