Dear City Pages,

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could tell me of any dance nights or places to dance that would fulfill certain criteria:

 a) not many dude brahs (not that I mind them per se as people, just I don't like guys who may give me the evil eye or stare down/mutter words when dancing, and I also don't like feeling out of place. I'm not a dude brah); 

b) I have been to Too Much Love because I heard that's pretty popular, but the crowd seemed packed with 17- to 20-year-olds (I'm 26), and I find it difficult to get engaged in dancing to trancey dance music with the repetitive simple electronic dance kick drum. I've been to the Moon Goons night, similar thing going on there. 

So where are some places to dance for people like me, with this criteria in mind? I want to dance in public to the likes of Rolling Stones and Prince. I'm not fond of DJ's imparting too much of themelves into music, and trying to be stars, I just want to dance to songs played basically straight through. I also like to dance to recognizable songs, not all obscure things I haven't heard.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Samuelson
