Where is there an indie dance party in DC?

June 4, 2007 7:29 PM

Where in Washington, D.C. can I find a regular dance party with DJs spinning in the same style as Certified Bananas, Flosstradamus, and BangGang?

I'm looking for a place, preferably weekly, where I can go and get my indie/hipster dance on. Straight/gay, I don't care. Bonus points for under 21 (or at least lax on what kind of IDs they'll accept) and metro accessible.

No clue, but Flosstradamus is awesome (thanks for the intro). Reminds me of a group called Muscles from Austrailia.

It's going to be hit or miss, and I'd be suprised if you found a club that consistently played this stuff. Check the black cat out though... they book a lot of indie artists and have frequent DJ sets.

Best answer: the Wonderland Ballroom

Room Service @ Rock n Roll Hotel (club music! there are some indie dance parties there too)

and yeah, the Black Cat (Bliss)

Infamy DC - I don't know when is the next one though

Selam on U Street has some dance nights

Black Cat has indie dance parties at least once per month.
