DANCES Dance to the Sounds of DJ Ray: Massapequa Elks Club. 2162 Veteran’s Blvd., Massapequa, NY. Ballroom Mix. 7pm-11pm, Doors open at 6:30pm. 516.798.2162 or 516.385.1720 Being from Long Island it all started for me in 2001 in Islip. The place had a doorway in the middle of a strip mall. You would walk down this long hallway towards the back of the building and there enter what was at the time Disco heaven. The place was pretty huge even by today’s standards. The club was like a rectangle divided into 4 equal quadrants. The lighted raised dance floor was back left. Back right was a huge 4 sided walk around bar with another one like this front left. To the right and up a few steps when you walked in was a lounge area with a small wooden dance floor and lots of plush soft seating peppered around. I think there were 8 or 10 huge screens in the place along the back wall with a constant slide show going that was synced to the music. Hustle was already around for a few years by the time I was introduced to it here at 2001 back in 1976. I had seen it here or there and tried dancing it with some friends who were not very good at it, but this was a whole new level. No longer was it a simple touch step type dance or one that many people remember as the Rope Hustle with a single syncopation, this was a dance with 2 syncopations that was in my eye totally flying around the dance floor with tricks, dips, and lifts added. It was for me a jaw dropping moment and I wanted in. out to dance has greatly diminished. In other cases there are dance promoters working hard to pull in dancers by running dance nights at local venues and some of the nicer local dance studios. Other clubs from the Island that many of you may remember as the scene matured were Decameron’s, Uncles Sam’s, Zachary’s, Channel 80, Speaks/ Speak Easy, Feathers, Poor Peter’s, Penrods, Chaz, Cherries and so many more. My apologies if I left out one of your favorites. I can see people reading this right now, shaking their heads and saying, “How could he forget ….???? !!!!“ There was easily a different club for every night of the week and there were enough people to fill them given that this was prime time for Baby Boomers. So I asked myself what might be done to boost the energy level a bit at some of the local dance venues and I came up with a few possible ingredients. This list is sort of a set of suggestions, is in no particular order and is put out their for both those that run dance nights and for those who attend. I did not expect to get this far off track with local Disco history, but while playing the music I talked about earlier, it brought back so many memories, feelings and that sense of what a good time those days were. Today many of us who dance, don’t have the choices of all the clubs we once did. Music has changed, we have aged, many of us like more than just dancing Hustle and obviously we have way more responsibilities than we did when we were in our 20’s, to go out and dance every night even if we wanted to and had the energy to do so. Our choices when we do go out are somewhat limited. Some clubs still attract a small dance crowd, but the choices here are few as the number of people going I’m thankful that we still have places to shake our booty, but I would be lying if I said I did not miss the energy of dance nights from days gone by. Dress Up...!!! Look Good, Feel Good, Dance Good was how I started this off. Some do this all the time and thank you to those who do. For those of us that take a night out a little more casually, step up the wardrobe a little. A night out where people are looking good works for everyone. We all tend to feel better when dressed up, and when we do this as a group, it adds to the environment we dance in and energy that we bring. Music – This is so, so, so important that I can’t stress it enough. To those that run studios, dance nights and even run clubs. Get the music right...! Play the music that sends a buzz through the crown and has people leaving their seats to get up on the floor. It tends to get too easy for those playing the music to get caught in a rut. This is your craft. This is what people come out to dance for. If that music does not have them getting up to dance and staying on the floor, you need to find music that will, and there is a ton of it out there. Don’t get caught up in what you like to listen to but rather what your crown wants to dance to. Venues, Support, Cost - I’m lumping this all into one here as it all kind of works together. Venues are important but also cost money to use, run, rent and occupy. It’s tough to find those that have a nice ambiance, a good floor and are affordable to operate. If anyone finds one out there locally, and you know others that promote dance nights, share what you know. Maybe someone will pick it up and get something going. As part of this, dancers need to stop being so cheap. Yes, I said it. Dancers are known for this and I can say I’ve experienced it on both coasts. It costs money to run these events with expenses going up every year. I have no idea how a promoter can operate a night today that includes a meal, a dance lesson and the general cover charge for about $15.00. The club 2001that I talked about earlier during pre1980 years was $20 just to walk in! When there are special nights at special venues, with shows or some other theme that promoters work hard at putting on, support them. If you don’t you will not have these choices in the future as this is about basic economics. Ok, I’m getting off my soapbox now and think I’ll put on some more of those tunes and take few spins in my den. I’d like to wish everyone a well dressed and high energy Thanksgiving, filled with lots of friends, family and great music!!
