Dancing in Seattle at 8pm

Where's a good place to go dancing in Seattle early in the evening of New Year's Eve?
I'd love to go out dancing with my spouse, but I a. don't know a thing about going out dancing and b. go to bed early. I won't be staying up to midnight, but maybe until 10pm. So I would like a mellow place to dance at, say, 7 or 8pm. I am planning on dressing up, so it doesn't need to be a casual place, just one where not being a great dancer isn't a big deal. Previous dancing in Seattle questions have yielded some great suggestions for judgement-free places, but they pretty much all start at 9:30 or 10 on New Year's Eve. Any ideas?

Response by poster: I've liked every kind I've tried, but I suppose I'm more interested in 80's pop than contra. Ballroom and swing can be fun too.

It's unfortunate you haven't had any other responses. I would attempt to answer this based on what I have heard, but rather than subjecting yourself to my ignorance, I think you would be better off asking on The Stranger's Questionland. They excel at this kind of question. If you don't get a good answer there, comment here and I will ask around.

Sorry that you haven't had any good answers.
If you are willing to settle for contra, Emeral City Contra Dance starts at 7 on Fridays (including New Year's). I think it will hard to find anything else that starts early on New Year's Eve.
If you can brave the clubs in Pioneer Square, I think some of them might open at 8. In my experience, those kinds of places are usually dead early on a regular weekend evening, let alone on New Year's Eve. I probably wouldn't do it.
