Moon and ShorehouseWhat's unique about the Crystal Ballroom is the floor. Sure, it's hardwood, not so clean, and hardly noticed by the hundreds of people who see shows there every night. But, it bounces. The best time to feel the effects of the bouncy floor are during live, energetic shows with a couple of hundred people jumping around to fine, fine dance music (Le Tigre perhaps?). It's uneasy at first, since as a rule, wooden floors aren't so bouncy. This feeling passes once you realize that the floor is not about to collapse, but rather will augment your silly dance moves and generally add to rockingness of the show.
