Dance the weekend away at these Pittsburgh parties playing everything from Barbie bops to funk and soul. All events are 21 and over unless otherwise noted.
This week's spotlight:
There are plenty of spooky-themed, Halloween-season dance events this weekend, including one for slasher movie fans. As formidable as Jason Voorhees and Micheal Myers are, however, they don't even compare to the Sunday scaries. It's fortunate, then, that Trace Brewing has something to help you ease into the work week. Disco Sunday Disco returns on Sun., Oct. 15 with Jellyfish and Jarrett Tebbets playing an outdoor show where everyone can move and groove in the crisp fall air. 3-8 p.m. 4312 Main St., Bloomfield.
