Daza Dance Parties

We’ve come to the final hour of Daza’s weekend dance party. Everybody having fun?

(Wooooooo.)

Team Paso Doble Diablos blew us away during regular daytime lessons, but it turns out the real action heats up when the sun goes down. Fifteen bucks grants all-access (plus two drink tickets and bar snacks) to the back room studio shufflefest.

(Beat starts.)

Tappah’ Troupers waste no time with an hour of group lessons, spanning from the hustle to merengue. A word to the wise: Whoa there, Lindy Hip-Hop Honeys! Watch out for sequins, T-straps, and a lady-killer named Antonio. It’s an all-age, partner-swapping atmosphere — anything goes.

Bachata to Lady Gaga, clear the floor for instructor demo dance-offs, and don’t bring a wallflower partner if you know what’s what.

Now beat it.

Friday and Saturday nights, 8:30 p.m.-midnight, at Daza Dance Atlanta, 3005 Old Alabama Road, Johns Creek (678-910-9693 or dazadanceatlanta.com).
