Help!
Sometimes I'll see a dance band play at a non-standard venue and I
sometimes wonder if these venues are conducive for dancing, i.e., do they have
a dance floor? Some of the venues and some of the bands aren't very helpful in
providing that information, particularly if it discourages people from showing up.
I don't get a chance to check out most of these venues so please help me provide
better information to my readers by letting me know which venues are suitable
for dancing (for instance, does it have a dance floor?). Thanks!
