Dances of Vice

If you're in the New York area, get your calendars ready, because you're going to want to mark this one down.

Last week I stumbled upon/wound up chatting with Shien Lee at a dancing class, and found out she organizes the Dances of Vice events.

Described as "the art of nightlife once again revived... showcasing an exotic melange of art, performance, and music influenced by that special time in history, the 1920s and '30s"
It's more generally known as one of the best parties in town, bringing all of the new romantics and eccentrics out of the wood work for a night of over the top opulence and decadence.
Generally, a smashing good time.

After class she invited me to their next event, a film noir themed party held at the Ace Hotel on January 29th.

Here's one of their past events, the Cursed Circus:
