dancefloors
Where clubbers move
Dancefloors are the surfaces in clubs, bars, or event venues where people dance.
The term often stands in for the nightlife scene itself: The song dominated dancefloors across Europe.
A packed dancefloor signals a successful night; an empty one spells trouble for the DJ.
