DanceJam

FRIDAYS, 9:00 pm to midnight
$ 7.00 at the door, $ 5.00 if in before 9:30 pm
If you love to dance, but hate the club scene, this is your place. DanceJam is an open floor, mixed dance venue — music ranges wildly, but tends mostly to worldbeat/​latin, 80’s and electronica. All styles and abilities welcome, on floor participation not required — DJ is a great place for non-​dancer you to bring your dance-​lovin’ honey to get the groove on.
DJ is family-​friendly: you can bring your kids if you like — so pack up your mind, your muse, your munchkins, your moves, your mojo, your… oh, oops, sorry — got stuck on the alliterative track for a mo’… whatever you like, truly. Comfortable clothes recommended, also socks or soft shoes for those who don’t like to do their boogie barefoot.
WHAT IT IS –
FUN: yes, I know — *duh*. However, I’ve been to plenty of dance venues that completely failed this primary requisite.
INCLUSIVE: everyone is welcome here, and that really does mean *everyone*, regardless of age, sexuality, race, shape, (or lack thereof!) other arbitrary definition or even the inclination to dance.
ACCESSIBLE: located just around the corner from Claire de Lune at 30^th and Kansas, DJ is easy to get to by any known means of transportation, public or private. NOTE — parking *can* be a royal pain, and I recommend you do NOT park behind Acoustic Expressions.
LOW-​KEY: the crowd is very mellow, there is ***LOTS*** of seating for the tired /​non-​dancing folks, music is various enough to suit most tastes and the people watching opportunities are endless.
WHAT IT IS *NOT* –
A MEAT MARKET: if you are looking for a hookup, don’t look here — *totally* wrong venue.
A BAR: this is an alcohol, drug and smoke-​free environment.
BIAS ALERT –
I have been attending DJ for the 20+ years its various incarnations have been in existence — *of course* I think it is a good thing… and I’m willing to bet you will too. Give it a try — Tante Dio sez’
