Weekends in Halifax are for dancing

This is a great weekend to shake your groove thang in Halifax.

Down at the Company House tonight, you can pretend it’s the ‘80s and forgo the mall claw while dancing at Retro Night. The best part of the evening: tambourines for all! Here’s a little something to get you in the mood.

Just down the street at Menz Bar is the monthly disco-boogie party, Shake It Out. I must admit to having a bit of a bias for this event, but maybe that’s because the DJ once played this record for me.

I thought I was gonna cry on the dancefloor. If you’re feeling like you wish you had been at the Paradise Garage, take a listen to DJ AA Wallace’s downloadable mix.

If you’re feeling festive on Saturday night, you can check back in to Menz for a Mardi Gras Party with DJ Sonny D. Bonus points to you if you can figure out who and where this record is sampled.

Boogie on down, my brothers and sisters. Boogie on down.
