For 2012 onward, we meet almost exclusively at Basic Ballroom (details below). However, on special occasion, which we’ll tell you about long in advance, we meet also at Dance Manhattan or Club 412. Here is a map, with important neighborhood features pointed out (parking, safety, liquor stores for BYOB, 24-hour diner).
Be sure to read the TEXT for each marker on the map — it includes dates, prices, Teachers & DJs.
