Where do the cool queer kids go in Chicago when they want to really dance?
I want to go club dancing in Chicago at a fun venue with great music and an energetic crowd who are there to dance. Not to drink, not to stumble around looking for a hookup in the bathroom, not to text furiously all night, but to dance until everyone's sweaty and laughing and flirting with everything in sight. Super-big bonus points for a mixed GLBTQ crowd, but it's not 100% necessary. Good solid DJs are a must. And for what it's worth, I'm definitely open to all-ages clubs.
I've been to Formerly Known As at Michelle's Big Chicks on N Sheridan (linkage) a few times, and while the crowd is great the music has been so-so lately and it seems that everyone is doing that shuffle around in place thing but no one's really dancing.
So AskMe folks, where do I go to bust some mad moves with a group of like-minded folks?

Go to FKA tonight, at Big Chicks on Sheridan and Lawrence. It's awesome.

Came in here to say Berlin. And while I've never attended either FKA or Chances, I hear good things about both.

Response by poster: Thanks for all your helpful answers. Chances seems to be exactly what I'm after, but I'll be sure to check out Berlin too. Now, when are we going? :)
