From http://www.gaycenter.org/out/ It’s hard to believe that 25 years ago The Saint, Paradise Garage, and Studio 54 were in existence when the Center Dance (aka Dance: 208) was started up. Many parties in the gay community have come and gone, but the Center Dance, now reborn Dance: 208 has survived and thrived!
