recommended by Jordan Levin who says: Best dance nights are Thursday, when they teach casino, and Sundays, when hardcore dancers come to strut their stuff, occasional dance contests. Friday and Saturday are Latin also, some live bands, but also disco music, and there's not as much emphasis on dancing.
