Best Dance Party, Reader's Choice: Outdanced (promoters Scott Cramer and Jillian Valentino)

Mireya Acierto

Reader’s Choice Outdanced

Outdanced started out as the Funky Buddha’s weekly lesbian night, but its hedonistic vibe and excellent rotation of electro, hip-hop, and art-punk DJs and live acts has ended up attracting probably the most demographically diverse crowds in town. There’s something about watching butch punk chicks and flossy hip-hop dudes rock out equally hard to Dandi Wind and DJ Assault that just makes me love this city.  Tue 10 PM-2 AM, Funky Buddha Lounge, 728 W. Grand, 312-666-1695, myspace.com/outdanced, admission varies. —Miles Raymer
