BarFly » Dance clubs in Portland

AKA dancing/deejays

Dancing is fairly broadly defined. Some people want to dance to that horrible southern rap that mentions doing something in "The Club" 500231 times. Others want to actually shake their asses, move their feet, and maybe even do a little line dancing or polka. At most of the places listed here, you can dance if you want to.
