GenX Dance Party's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
October is the season for 80s & 90s New Wave, Alternative & Goth Music!There are so many elder goths and & a surprising number of young goths lurking around the Olympic Peninsula. This is our night! Grab your friends, family or dance solo, and join us at the Moderate-to-Severe GenX Dance Party for an early evening of the best music the 80s and 90s had to offer.
This is not your typical bar or nightclub, Studio Bob is a fabulous community art space and gallery-turned-nightclub once a month. Our "nightclub" is designed to be a judgment-free zone where you can let loose, express yourself, and groove to the music without hesitation. Our dance parties are typically 85% women or female-presenting, freely dancing the early evening night away without anyone bothering them.
