“Dear PoPville,

Looking to get some recs about where a group of fully vaccinated people in their mid-30’s go for dancing these days? Preferably places that aren’t too crowded and play some good throwback jams.

Maybe next month they’ll have free bonsai tree sculpting lessons. I mean that would make just as much sense, no? Has anyone taken the Salsa lessons? I’m still nursing a nagging breakdancing injury but I’ll have to check it out when I’ve recovered…
