Many of the WorcesterScene viewers have asked the same question, “where can we go to dance?” While our first answers have been some of the great bars and clubs, we soon realized that they wanted the venues for ballroom, salsa, and the more organized dancing beyond the bump-and-grind that dominate many clubs in the area. With that said, each week we will compile some information that is obtained by those who know where the “in” spots are for this type of dance and entertainment. As always, our friends at Salsa Storm always have something exciting going on, be certain to check them out and tell them that WorcesterScene sent you!
Friday, February 5th
Maironis Park - Dancing will be upstairs. So this is a great opportunity to dance all those ballroom steps you have learned. There will be a lesson in the Quickstep.
Chicken Bone (Framingham) – Ernie and the Automatics will be playing. Ernie of Ernie Boch fame will have you rocking. So go to the Bone to Swing, Hustle and freestyle.
Poise Style and Motion – This venue is similar to Maironis Park. Get a lesson and dance for a couple of hours, ballroom only dancing.
Saturday, February 6th
Maironis Park - This is singles night, but couples can attend. Ozzie and his DJ will be spinning CDs. You can practice whatever dance steps you know.
Point Breeze (Webster) – Windfall will be playing. They specialize in Classic Rock and some Blues.
Gilreins – Jon Short is playing. This will be mostly listening to good Blues. Not sure if you will be able to dance to his music.
Frohsinn Club – Preferred Sound will be turning up the amps in an effort to keep everyone awake. I keep saying that this is a great spot for anyone who is new to ballroom, or just wants to polish some steps or routines.
Sunday, February 7th
PNI Club, Worcester – Dancing is 4:30 to 8:30. This will be ballroom dancing.
Leominster Elks – There is no band this week. Alan will be selecting music from his Swing CD collection.
Salsa Storm (Worcester) - You all know how to dance Salsa. So head on over to see how you measure up. Dancing is from 5:00 to 8:30.
Looking for a very well known band to dance to? Friday, February 12th Eight to the Bar will be playing at Twin Rivers Casino.
A special thanks to our contributor with his pulse on the dance scene!

While cigars have always been a traditionally man-driven activity, the fact of the matter is when you have a great setting like Victory Bar & Cigar combined with some great options and alternative accessories, the act of smoking a cigar can be preferred by women and men alike!
