Venues

On venues and kids

We want dancers with kids to be able to dance with us! See more about kid-friendly venues and our group childcare options on our FAQ page.

Lindy's House

Thursday night house party

There is plenty of free street parking. Please change into clean, indoor-only shoes (or just wear socks) when you arrive to protect the floors. Lindy has dogs and cats, so be sure to take your allergy meds, if needed. BYOB is welcome for participants who are 21+. Please drink responsibly. Outside snacks are fine.

Sokol Hall

Friday and Saturday nights

A recognized national and state historic site, the charming Sokol Hall was built in 1887 and has been updated with modern conveniences including AC and an elevator at the parking lot entrance. The hall is located on the 2nd level with 2,500 square feet of floor space, separate cloakroom, grand stair case, a kitchen and bar area, and bathrooms. The parking lot isn't huge, but there is plenty of free street parking nearby. There are a number of great restaurants in walking distance — one is even just downstairs. We'll be dancing on a lovely hardwood floor. The venue is used for weddings and other non-dancing events so the floor is nice and cleaned regularly but not as pristine as a dance studio might be! No outside alcohol allowed, we will have a cash bar available if you'd like a drink! Outside snacks are fine.

Midtown Global Market

Saturday afternoon

Multi-purpose hall with great food options, jewelry/art/gifts from different world cultures, a dance floor, and even a bar and arcade. There's a paid parking ramp next door; the market will validate 1 hour of parking. We will have a live band and a dance floor cleared in front of them. The floor is smooth cement/glass blocks and is in a public area. Feel free to wear street shoes. Feel free to bring non-dancer family and friends, including kids! No outside alcohol is allowed. Game Time Sports Bar & Arcade is located in the market and serves cocktails and beer. We encourage you to support market vendors versus bringing in outside food.

Four Seasons Dance Studio

Sunday night

The entrance is in the historic cobblestone alley. Parking here can be a little tricky — there are some metered spaces around the venue and some free parking north on 16th Street and Laurel Ave — just pay attention to the signage. You can also pay to park in the 1500-1598 Hennepin Ave Garage which you enter from Laurel Ave. Please bring clean indoor shoes to change into at this venue or plan to wear socks so we keep the nice hardwood floors in good condition. BYOB is welcome for participants who are 21+. Please drink responsibly. Outside snacks are fine.
