Get out and DANCE for all the right reasons besides being a

and broadway combined.

I have been on the wrong side of a city padlock. Being shut down
for dancing. When it happens your like, wait, wtf?. It's how you felt
then and that was the f'en 80's. Things have gotten far darker since.
(Rudy really helped transform an hassle to oppression in the 90s)

This is not just a listing. It is a call to action for anyone who
values the depth and culture this city offers. If you have
ever danced went to a show, club, hell..tapped your foot,
go out and support this. It is a cry for all of our rights.
