LarryvilleKU WEEKEND
DERRYBERRY WEEKEND WARRIOR
Feeling bored lately? A long night of dancing in Lawrence can help you get your groove back.
VIKKAS SHANKER/KANS
Tonic Lounge is only one of the many places to go dancing in Lawrence. Derryberry's other dance venue recommendations include The Hawk and Abe and Jakes.
I'm a pretty good dancer. I'm not planning on taking part in Dancing with the Stars or anything anytime soon. Honestly, by any standards from professionals, I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a dance floor, but I sure have fun, and the people I dance with have fun, too. No offense to the bump-and-grinders of the world, but I'd much rather flail around laughing than awkwardly getting in sync with a partner to an electronic remix of an already-electronic song. One of the key things for dancing is finding the right music, and whether you're into the grinding or grinning, Lawrence has plenty of dance floors.
This Saturday is The Crumpletones Fall Dance Party on the top of The Oread hotel, 1200 Oread Ave. The terrace on the ninth floor of the hotel offers a tremendous view of the Lawrence skyline, and based on weather reports, it's supposed to be a sunny day leading to a cooler night, so all the heat you build up dancing will
keep you just warm enough. The '60s music and psychedelic melodies of the Crumpletons is sure to be a good time. The local Lawrence band has been playing in the area for years and covers everything from Motown classics to the Beatles and Rolling Stones. It only costs $5 to join in the fun, doors open at 8 p.m., and it's all ages.
If the cool, open air isn't for you, on Saturday the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St., is featuring the Majestics Rhythm Revue, led by Jazzhaus owner Rick McNeely on the saxophone. Since forming more than 14 years ago, the six piece band has offered a wide variety of sounds from blues and jazz to rock and funk, all worthy of busting a move on the dance floor. I've seen these guys and gals a few times, and not only do they put on a great show, but they love what they do and are happy to share a beer with you anytime. Although the Jazzhaus is for those 21 and older, the venue puts you right in the middle of the action and is always a good time. MRR jumps on stage at 10 p.m., but other bands will be playing before-hand so stop by anytime after 7 p.m. The entrance fee for the night is $5.
Now, I do understand the appeal of the bumping and grinding club music, so if you're looking to get up close and personal on the dance floor, Lawrence does have options. There are the usual hot spots for such action including Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St., and The
Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., or for those younger crowds who feel like dancing. Abe and Jakes, 8 East 6th St.
Whether you take the risk this weekend or any other, I really do suggest getting a feel for the local music scene, because there is a wide variety of talent strewn about Lawrence. So grab those dancing shoes, dress your best and put your feet to the test.
Remember, confidence is key because without it, you're just another wallflower hiding from the spotlight.
