Dance Place AFTER DARK: Spookshow Spectacular
October 31 at 9pm
Join us for a wickedly glamorous evening presented by Dance Place AFTER DARK and Metro Cabaret Club, DC’s premiere creative production house by Burlesque Hall of Famer Aquarius Moon. Hosted by the electrifying Boulee Brother’s Onyx Ondyx, our master of ceremonies and headliner this night of macabre delights includes a sultry floorwork class by guest instructor Meka La Crème, the spooky-chic Metro Market, and a hauntingly seductive cabaret from 9–11 PM.
VIP tables come with bubbly, bobbles, and Halloween gift bags—perfect for an unforgettable All Hallows’ Eve. Costumes encouraged. Mystery guaranteed. The cabaret show is 21+.
Floorwork for Burlesque (Spooky Style) Dance Class at 6:30 PM
This workshop is a sultry fusion of burlesque, Cha Cha, and floor work, all set to “Black Magic Woman” by Santana.
Whether you’re new to burlesque or looking to add another spell to your movement repertoire, let’s celebrate your body, summon a touch of witchy mystique, and infuse it with a rock ‘n’ roll edge and a hint of Latin flair. Let’s get a little wicked on this Hallows Eve! Accommodations will be made available for any and all so no experience is necessary.
Bring ballroom heels or stilettos – whatever lets you move comfortably and feel fierce.
Wear something you can stretch, slink, and strut in.
