Danceteria Hoodies
Description: Serving as a template for the countless new-wave clubs that sprung up in the city in the ’80s, the original Danceteria opened on West 37th Street in '79 to great fanfare, but it was Danceteria’s second incarnation at 30 West 21st Street, which ran from 1982 through 1986, that cemented the club’s place in nightlife history. It was there, of course, that Madonna’s first live performance took place in 1983 and would later serve as the setting for a pivotal scene in Desperately Seeking Susan. But forget about Madge, the club was much more renowned for its array of cutting edge DJs and as a setting for musicians ranging from shock-punkers, The Plasmatics, to modern-classical giant, Philip Glass.
