by admin on Aug.02, 2010, under Uncategorized
It’s gonna be a hot week, which means it’s the perfect time to head down to the Highball for your Wednesday dancing fix. This week, we’re premiering West Coast Wednesday. West Coast Swing is a great way to partner dance to the music YOU like, instead of what your grandparents were listening to!
DJ Big Papa and special guest DJ Mike Topel will be spinning the tunes for you this week.

You’ll be entertained for hours!

Serious Soul Party – July 28, 2010
by admin on Jul.22, 2010, under Upcoming Events
There’s no vinyl to be found here. We don’t lay claim to being the longest running soul night. We’re not saving the world. But that doesn’t stop us from laying down the hottest soul tracks exclusively for dancers. Whether you’re busting out west coast, east coast, or the electric boogaloo, it don’t make no never mind.
PLUS – IT’S ALL FREE!
That’s right, jive turkey – no cover for your broke behind.
‘Course if you want to get down with the skeeball, bowling or some chicken fried pork chops, you’re gonna have to pony up a little green.
There’s only one place to get on the scene on a Wednesday night, and it’s at the Highball. Don’t be the only one on your block who’s not gettin’ down with the get down.
