> While popular "dance" events still exist, standing in a packed crowd holding your phone up to film the DJ is not dancing.
Sounds like you're hitting up the wrong clubs :) My Dominican friends occasionally take me out for some bachata and it's very fun! And usually packed with people in their 20's.
There are also loads of people dancing at hip-hop events, although that's a very different sort of dance, heh. Still very fun though, if you're into that sort of thing.
And, even as a straight person, gay clubs are some of the danciest, wildest parties around.
(But I suspect much of this thread has people saying "dance" to only mean traditional ballroom/swing/etc)
