Go clubbing before work

Dancing until dawn is normally reserved for weekends — and certainly not before a full day’s work. But a new early-morning clubbing session is using electronic music, dancing and massage to blow away the cobwebs before you go to work.

The new drop-in concept called Morning Glory has launched in Shoreditch featuring “wake-up angels”, DJs, a massage station, smoothies and coffee. People are encouraged to dance freely and lose their inhibitions in an effort to feel good and make mornings more fun.

Events organiser Samantha Moyo, who co-runs it with massage therapist Nico Theommes, said: “It’s the way to wake up, but there’s also something about doing it with everybody else. There’s something almost tribal about it.” Their first 6.30 session last week attracted 200 people eager for an early workout and was such a success that they plan to hold regular monthly sessions at Village Underground.

Moyo added: “There were corporate types, creatives and all ages. The turn-out was great and the energy was amazing.”
