No Standing Only Dancing is Rennie Ellis’s vivid chronicle of Australia’s nightclub and disco scene from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Packed with his signature candid photography, the book dives into the neon-lit world of mirror balls, dance floors, and nightlife excess. Ellis captures everything from flamboyant fashion and sweaty energy on the floor to the cheeky, unguarded moments behind the scenes. It’s a raw, glamorous, and sometimes gritty portrait of a decade when disco, punk, and new wave collided—and when the nightclub was the stage for self-expression.
