646 Cherokee Ave, St Paul, 55107PNA Hall
Friday and Saturday nights
A beautiful century-old second floor hall with a stage, AC, and a cash bar! There's plenty of free street parking nearby, and a number of great restaurants and bars in walking distance — one is even just downstairs. This venue is on the second floor and there is no elevator. If you come straight here from traveling on Friday we will have plenty of space to stash suitcases, just know we'll need to get them up a set of stairs (let us know if you need help!). 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, please support the venue if you'd like a drink! Outside snacks are fine.

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.

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.
