Bored already with the treadmill? Are the barbells gathering dust? Or, maybe going out at night has you worried, because of your ‘diet?’ Well, consider dancing! Jefferson City has at least seven (7) dance venues for night life entertainment (a.k.a exercise!). And, don’t worry, whether you look like a dancing chicken or a suave groove artist, you are bound to have a blast and meet up with fellow Jefferson Citians who like to bust to move!
Dancing is a fun, fat-burning activity that will keep you motivated with your exercise regime, and at the same time, introduce you to some of the coolest places in Jefferson City!
The Mission
On Missouri Boulevard, Spectator’s and TG’s Lounge have dance floors to accommodate even the wildest and craziest dancers. A hop, skip and a jump away from the Boulevard is Capital Ritz, which offers classes and more structured environment for dancers of all ages.
Jefferson City night life is alive and well in the heart of downtown, where you can shake your tail feathers on the second floor at Bones. When the weather is nice, their huge outdoor deck gets transformed to a dance floor, because the bands rock. Next door to Bones, Mike’s Corner Pocket has a nice indoor stage towards the High Street entrance. If the band playing rocks a beat, you will fit right in with your dance moves. On the east side, JC’s most recent new bar, The Mission (pictured to the right), definitely welcomes movers and shakers. The minute you walk in, your foot automatically starts tapping to the music playing on their awesome sound system. Prison Brews, a couple doors away features occasional live entertainment, and when the music jams, you’ll find diner’s dancing outside their booth.
So, what are you waiting for? Make plans now to start grooving to Jefferson City night life!
