Club Dance
1990s–2000s
“30,000 square feet of east-side dance floor.”
Dance Clubs · East Side
The enormous east-side club — one of the largest dance floors in central Ohio at some 30,000 square feet — that pulled the whole suburban crowd out past the outerbelt. It cycled through names (later Screamin' Willies) before that era of mega-club nights finally ended.
Hear the sound of the place: After Dark →Did you dance at Club Dance? What do you remember?
The drive, the dance, the heartbreak, the summer. Add a memory of Club Dance.
