Dance hall
A dance hall is a large public venue designed for dancing, usually featuring a spacious floor, music provided by a live band or DJ, and a bar. The term dates to the 19th century and encompasses everything from traditional ballrooms to modern nightclubs.
Dance halls and nightlife venues
The dance hall tradition evolved into today's nightclubs and music venues. Many of Budapest's larger ruin bars and clubs incorporate dedicated dance floors alongside their bar areas, blurring the line between a traditional drinking venue and a dance hall.
