Saturday nights at the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. The Boom Boom Room with DJ Vinny. A great mix of old and new plus tons of different styles of music not just techno, jungle or whatever everybody else is playing. |

The monthly party Utopia Sundays at Machine 1256 Boylston St. (around the corner from Fenway Park) is a melting pot of Boston natives who enjoy a form of music that has a universal language..............HOUSE MUSIC. This is the ONLY night in the city of boston where people of ALL races, sexual orientations, political and religious beliefs are free to be themselves. The next event is this Sunday, September 6th (labor day weekend). This event is called the 13th Annual Boston Loft Reunion. The Boston Loft was the birthplace of alot of House Heads who are in the scene today. Some of us met our life long friends and future partners (wife/husband). For me it was a learning experience as a dj. Certain songs touched people in ways you wouldn't believe. People were crying because they were happy that you played a song that they liked. This sh*t meant alot to us. The Boston Loft classics are so special that I try not to play them at Utopia Sundays until the Boston Loft Reunion. I won't make a Boston Loft CD until I retire. So yall got 25 years to wait....lol. Seriously this is one of those nights where whatever problems you might be having doesn't matter because the music, the vibe and the people will make it all go away. Trust me I've witnessed it at every Boston Loft Reunion. Big up to the dj's that played at the Boston Loft: Armand Van Helden Cosmo Wyatt Eddie Cue Anastasia Timmy Allen Overload Francis Englehardt Richie Rich John (Horse) Mcmahon and tons of guest dj's from around the world. This Sunday, September 6th (Labor Day Weekend) what we're gonna do is go back in time to when Bill Clinton was in office, when you had a little bit more money in your pocket and when you went to the Boston Loft....you felt free. Old School All Night w/ DJ BRUNO (one of the main residents of the Boston Loft) 21+ (proper id is a must) 9pm-2am $5 b4 10pm $10 after No Dress Code/Just Bring Your Dancing Shoes 857-891-1960 |

For partner dancing, I like to swing dance at Boston Swing Central, you can find their schedule at BostonSwingCentral.org on their frontpage. They usually throw a dance most Friday nights in Cambridge. They have a lesson right before the dance which starts at 8:00pm and some of the best swing bands and DJs. Occasionally they have some special nights which are over-the-top fun where they do something unique like last Halloween they taught the line dance from Thriller. It's a great atmosphere for learning to swing dance, as people are very friendly and welcoming of beginning dancers. |

Ken's Steakhouse in Framingham, Thursdays and Fridays. One of the best singers with pre-recorded music background. Sings in his own style, not the original artist. Small dance floor, comfortable setting, good food. Closes at 11. |

Moseley's Ballroom, Dedham Wednesday -- Group ballroom lesson included with dance admission ($12.00) at 7pm. Ballroom dancing begins at 8. One of the best floors for lots of space to move and practice. Friday (Call for schedule. Not every Friday) Singles dance that offers ballroom music interspersed with top 40's. Large, hardwood dance floor makes for uncrowded fun. |
