Dance Party at The Dive
DANCE PARTY AT THE DIVE BAR!
We're heading back to The Dive Bar—and this time, we're mixing it ALL together!
No single dance. No single style. Just a fun night of music, dancing, drinks, and hanging out.
Throughout the night we'll mix in all kinds of dancing, including:
Line Dancing
Salsa
Swing
Partner Dancing
And plenty more!
Know a line dance you want to do? Request it!
Want a Salsa or Swing song? Request it!
Hear something you love and just want to get out there and dance? That's kind of the whole point.
You don't have to be an experienced dancer to come out, either. Whether you dance all night, jump in for a few songs, or spend most of the evening hanging out with a drink and some friends, you're welcome.
This isn't a competition and nobody's keeping score. We're just getting people together, putting on some good music, and having a fun night out.
Grab a drink. Hit the dance floor. Request your favorites. Bring some friends.
R&J Ballroom + The Dive Bar
Come hang out and dance with us!

WHAT: You must be 18 years of age or older in order to read these words. Failure to comply will result in prosecution. This is your final warning. You are under arrest.
It’s an ADULTS ONLY Oddmall show hosted by our awesome friends at The Dive in Canton, Ohio. If you’re into kinky, slinky, winky adult fun this is absolutely the place for you. The pervasive vibe is emo / alternative. The people are funky. The drunks are drunky. The vibes are spunky. The boots are chunky. There might be a monkey (probably not). BYOM.

HOW: Hide in the cleavage of a very large woman and tell her this guy over at The Dive thinks she’s cute. When she goes to meet him hop out, take a bow, and traipse along like you own the place.
