Dance Party on Broadway, No Cabaret License Required

New York Times: "A group of dancers and a dance club are waging a legal fight against the city over its cabaret laws, which date back to 1926. Currently, only establishments that have cabaret licenses, which are very hard to get, can permit their customers to dance. That has put the city in the position of serving as the dance police. (More than three people moving rhythmically or gyrating can lead to a ticket for the business.) Opponents of the law call it antiquarian and anti-fun."
