Hey {{ Name | there }}!
Don’t let the January doldrums fool you — clubland is thriving.
Sure, the sun sets at 4-something, but NYC’s dance floors and creative spaces are wide awake.
In addition to the usual stellar roster of NYC DJs, this week brings some deliciously out-of-the-box gems:
🧘♀️ Techno yoga + the Heated Rivalry Fujoshi Dance Party on Tuesday
🎷 Jazz dancing to a live band + dominoes on Wednesday
💼 A workshop for nightlife workers and freelancers on Thursday
And of course, if you’re craving house + disco heaters in a cozy, high-energy space, heart-on-your-sleeve anthems, or sad bangers that heal your soul, we’ve got that too.
