On a slow, rainy night in a neon-lit strip club in the center of Helsinki, four dancers Yuki, Meri, Clemence and Camilla find themselves with more glitter than guests.
With barely a handful of customers drifting in and out, the dancers are left with nothing but time, empty poles, and each other. As the hours crawl by, boredom sets in, and the club becomes their stage — not for performance, but for truth, games, confessions, and escape. They swap stories and entertain each other.
Dancers Only is a slice-of-life short film that peels back the rhinestones to reveal the real — a night of stillness where nothing happens, and yet everything does. A love letter to friendship, femininity, and the in-between spaces where identity, performance, and the mundane blur.
