Great dance club in a very tough location

Space 550 is the place to go for events like Adonis, Epic and Underworld. The space is very big; the drink is average price but strong; the decoration is fantastic. You can get a massage in the other lounge area. The club also provides food such as sushi and fruits. My only problem is the location of the club. It is very hard to find a taxi and a hassle to use public transportation in the middle of the night. The best way to get here is by driving your own car.

Not my car in this area.

Tough neighborhood, watch your back.

Addictive 2-Step Program

A welcome break from the bar scene. Well, they do have a full bar, but the crowd is dry or teetotalling for the most part. We get high two-stepping, waltzing and swinging across the large dance floor. It can still get crowded though, especially on Sunday nights. Come early for the lessons if you're a novice, then you'll find lots of friendly guys to dance with no matter your level. It's definitely worth a trip out to the old garment district if you have a car. Otherwise, public transit is available but it's a bit of a chore and takes you through some dicey neighborhoods.

Dance addict

I first met up with this group a little over 4 years ago, and can't miss a dance. It's a blast if you can make a 3 minute cummitment with another person, knowing that you will get to hold them in your arms, chat, laugh and have a great time doing it and then the commitment is over.
