It's getting chilly outside, and there's no better way to warm up those muscles and joints than with a good, old-fashioned, dance-a-thon of a weekend.

This weekend, get out your trusty dancing shoes and hit all the Atlantic City clubs, as well as some hot spots off the beaten path, and show off your moves.

Start the party Thursday, Nov. 5, at Providence inside The Quarter at the Tropicana in Atlantic City.

Go wild with DJ Kaos - he likes that sort of behavior - starting at 10 p.m. Providence has what it takes to keep you satisfied all weekend long.

DJ Ted the Dillinger headlines Friday, Nov. 6's party, while Saturday, Nov. 7, brings out a dancefloor superhero, DJ Peter Parker.

Doors open at 10 p.m. on all nights. Call 609-345-7800.
