FIRST TIME?
Music first. The kink is an extra.
Curious about Berlin’s kinky nightlife, but not sure you belong there? You do. BOUNCE is a dance party before it is anything else. People come for eight hours of Bounce, Hard Dance and Euphoric Trance, in outfits that make each other laugh. Everything beyond the dancefloor is an offer, never an expectation.
WHY BOUNCE
-
It is a rave first
Two dancefloors, big melodies, hands in the air. You can spend the whole night dancing and singing along and have had the full BOUNCE experience. Lots of people do exactly that.
-
The dresscode is playful, not intimidating
No expensive fetish wardrobe needed. Colour, glitter, a silly accessory and some effort get you in. A costume counts. Your first harness can wait.
-
Nobody has to be naked
Show as much or as little skin as you like. A fully covered look with commitment beats a bare chest without one. Being naked is never the point here.
-
No pressure, no expectations
Nobody expects you to flirt, play or even talk to anyone. The playspaces are open for those who want them. Walking past them all night is completely normal.
-
People are here to smile
BOUNCE is the opposite of the serious, stone-faced Berlin door. The crowd is open, friendly and a bit ridiculous. It is very hard to feel out of place next to someone dressed as a traffic cone.
-
A safer space with real backup
Consent is mandatory, phones stay at the wardrobe, and a trained awareness team is there all night. If anything feels off, you tell them and they handle it.
YOUR FIRST NIGHT
-
Before
Pick an outfit you feel good in and can dance in. Read the rules once. Eat something. If you are unsure about your look, send us a photo on Instagram or Telegram.
-
At the door
Come early: shorter queue, relaxed door, easier start. The door looks for effort, not for money or a perfect body. You can arrive in street clothes and change inside.
-
Inside
Phone, bag and coat go to the wardrobe. Get a drink, walk through the club once so you know where everything is, then find your floor. The main floor is the one where you can still talk.
-
If you get curious
Watching from a respectful distance is fine. Joining is only ever by invitation. Ask before you touch, take a no with a smile, and feel free to say no yourself. You can stop at any point.
-
If it gets too much
Take a break, drink water, grab some fruit at the energy stations. The awareness team is there for exactly this, including when you just need a quiet minute.
NEWCOMER FAQ
Is BOUNCE a sex party?
No. BOUNCE is a music-first club night with a kinky, sex-positive crowd. There are open playspaces for people who want them, but the dancefloor is the heart of the night and many guests never go anywhere else.
Can I come alone?
Yes, and plenty of people do. The crowd is friendly and the main floor is quiet enough to actually talk. Coming early makes it easier to settle in.
Do I have to take part in anything?
No. Dancing all night, watching, chatting or just enjoying the outfits are all perfectly fine ways to spend your evening.
I do not own any fetish clothes. What now?
You do not need any. Colourful, playful and clearly on purpose is enough. The dresscode page has outfit ideas that start with things you already own.
What if someone makes me uncomfortable?
Say no, walk away, and tell the awareness team or any staff member. You will be taken seriously. People who ignore a no are removed.
Will there be photos of me?
No. Phones are handed in at the wardrobe. The only camera is in the consent-first photo corner, and only if you walk up to it yourself.
