Just Dance: Where to Groove Through Summer & Beyond
August 8, 2012 

There are only a few short weeks of summer left, so you better celebrate them the best way you know how—by dancing your ass off, cocktail in hand, of course! Whether you want to booty bounce to hip-hop, toe-tap to Top 40 or nod along ironically to an indie band in a basement bar, we’ve got the perfect joint for you to get down with your bad self. Say goodbye to Saturday Night Fever and hello to every-night-fever, because you’ll be wanting to shake, rattle and roll 24/7 at these dance-inducing hot spots through Labor Day and beyond!

 -Jinee Son

Union Pool
Oh, you wanna dance with somebody? You wanna feel the heat with somebody? Then hit up Union Pool for your fave '80s and '90s jams to bump and grind to. The Brooklyn bar's dance party happens once a month on a Friday night so it’s perfect to round up your fancy feet friends after a grueling work week. Artist J Penry and comedian/Violent Bullshit frontman Jay Green throw down for "Cheap Shots," spinning the best of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Whitney? MJ? Styx? You got it dude!
Union Pool, 484 Union Ave. @ Meeker St. (Williamsburg) 718.609.0484
Cielo
When something is named after heaven itself, you expect nothing less. Cielo offers an eclectic mix of people from bros to club heads to hipsters. But with the dance parties this joint dishes out, you’ll forget all about the who and focus on the how…the how to have a good time, that is! Cielo plans themed events and books the world’s most sought after DJs, and like the crowd, the music is different every night so there's a little somethin' somethin' everybody. Hell, screw heaven, we'd rather party with the sinners at Cielo anyday!
Cielo, 18 Little W. 12th St. Bt. 9th Ave. & Washington St. (Meatpacking) 212.645.5700
Santos Party House
And the award for best NYC party house goes to Santos! Join New York Times columnist and electro enthusiast Johnny Misheff at his Friday night party called "Spencer's Gifs.” where electronic music takes the 8-bit cake. The party doesn’t stop all night so hit the basement where the most debauchery ensues and robot your way to a crazy-fun early morning!
Santos Party House, 100 Lafayette St. @ Walker St. (TriBeCa) 212.714.4646
bOb
When you want to show ‘em what you’re workin’ with, bOb is the bar to hit up. It’s the hot spot for hip-hop and everyone can use a fly beat or 12 to loosen up! Thursday nights features DJ June for a smack down of old school jams and radio newbies to bump and grind to. Let the inner Rihanna emerge as you break out your booty drop at bOb.
bOb, 235 Eldridge St. Bt. Stanton & Houston Sts. (LES) 212.529.1807
Sullivan Room
Coming in with a bang of techno beats and rockin’-the-house, er, house music, Sullivan Room is good for two things—strong drinks and a bass amplifier that’ll keep your heart beating after a heart attack! Sunday Funday is kicked up 10 notches with Funk Box featuring Tony Touch at the subterranean spot. Forget Monday exists at Sullivan Room and rave on!
Sullivan Room, 218 Sullivan St. Bt. Bleecker & 3rd Sts. (Greenwich Village) 212.252.2151
Webster Hall
It would be blasphemous if we didn’t include the biggest and longest-running night club in NYC. Not only is Webster a dance club, with infamous themed dance parties like The Awesome '80s Prom, but it’s a performance venue as well so see your fave artists, whether you want to go new wave with Marina + the Diamonds or straight-up electro with Skrillex. Either way, this castle of a club will always be a classic go-to groove spot.
Webster Hall, 125 E. 11th St. Bt. 3rd & 4th Aves. (East Village) 212.353.1600
