Century Ballroom's Offerings for December and 2011 NEW Queer Schedule

As we are drawing upon another year's end I want to mention some of the offerings that Century Ballroom has added to their extensive schedule that are specifically for the queer community.  The main thing to note is starting in January the OutDancing Gay Events are changing from Friday to Saturday evenings.  Basically there will be queer dancing on most Saturdays evenings at Century!

Remember that often you can check the Seattle Announcements Calendar for information that is not found written here as it is updated even when I am not posting the information here (as this is really a dual gig keeping the calendar current and writing tidbits).  Century Ballroom has added this last year the addition of two more dance spaces, West and East Hall both located in Century's main building Oddfellows Hall.

For the month of December check out the regular dance classes intermingled with a little bit of spice.

New Years Eve 2010 - Seattle Area Party Events

Another year has passed and you will find parties in this email listed in this order: possible drop ins occurring in the general Capital Hill area you may want to know about followed by specific parties geared for us segueing into sexy more erotic events finishing the list and the evening.  Please note the last email you received from me was regarding the WildRose's 25th Anniversary Party that is occurring tonight (open it, hint hint).  There are 2 other email posts that each are explained if you open them.  All three email posts make up your New Year's Eve selections!


I am sure that I have missed something so please send me an email and I will add it.  I have many items lined up to send you that I hope will inform, excite and entice you my adored readers!  I must sleep at least a little to prepare for tonight.  Ms T




Here is a list of parties you may want to drop in on that may not all be women specific but are use  to seeing us folk.

  • BottleNeck Lounge No Cover all night and $6 Champayne.
  • Cuff Complex-DJ Kimberly S/Black & Blue Party. 10pm-2am, $10.
  • Decade-Do-Over/Reboot the Millenium at the New Years Sing-a-Long!
    Let's go back in time and pretend the decade of FAIL never happened. Forget terrorism, war, economic doom and the worst president.  We are going to party with the your favorite music of the 90's then party like it's 1999 with all Prince at the stroke of Midnight.  Seattle cancelled it's Millenium celebration so now it's time to do it right!   Get your new decade started on the right foot.  Let's make the next 10 years the Best Ever!  We'll have a special New Years menu and a confetti cannon for the occasion...Central Cinema 1411 21st Ave, Seattle, WA 98122, 206-328-3230.
      Tickets $12
  • Neighbours til 4am $10/New Year's "2010" Dawn of a New Decade! Performance by Haffi Haff and hosts Gaysha Starr, Lily Armani, Jada and Anita Body. DJs Randy Schlager & Trent Von. The benefits of Neighbours is that they often do afterhours from 2am - 4am.  Rumor has it they may open it up to the 18+ crowd.
  • Oddfellows Hall/As the World Falls Down FundRaiser for Lifelong AIDS Alliance/8pm-2am, was $125 now tickets are available for $99. A Labyrinth Masquerade Ball of performance and art with a full open bar serving the once barred absinthe, champagne, regular booze and beer that you can drink and hopefully enough food to avoid getting too smashed.  This sounds like a fabulous party and I hope they raise a bundle.  It will be quite the dress up affair and would be fun just to watch the attendees arrive I bet.
  • Swank in Kent: New Year's Party with DJ Ricki Leigh 9pm, No cover and actually can be a fun bar.
  • Twisted in Everett: New Year's Eve/Midnight Champagne Toast $10 cover.
  • HotFlash is having a NYE party in Portland.  It has been heavily marketed but if you need information, shoot me an email and I will help you out.
