- People say New Yorkers don't like to dance during rock gigs

- The Deli is here to quash this preconception.

Below, our 3 point platform to get your awkward indie ass up on the good foot.

1. A lot of people don't dance because they don't know the music.
To prepare you, we are providing a playlist of songs by the bands that will perform that night! Just click here, listen repeatedly, memorize the lyrics and study your old moves in front of the mirror like you used to in your teens (and still do).

mp3! Hoy mp3! Mistakes

2. Others say they don't dance because nobody's dancing. Well, the Deli has recruited a team of pro indie rock dancers that jump like maniacs at every guitar chord.

mp3! Aloke mp3! Group Sounds


3. Finally, some say that alcohol helps get the feet moving. Our beer promotion is here to help... 100 cans of beer will be donated to members of the audience at the Hook who distinguish themselves by dancing while the bands play the main stage (upstairs). That's right: IF YOU DANCE, YOU GET FREE BEER (max 4 cans each). Members of the Deli staff will keep a vigilant eye out for deserving (and 21+) folks who get up on the good foot.
