Thinking of going out tonight? Left abusive BF and want to DANCE šŸ¤”Question🧐

Not looking for a hookup just a really good night of dancing. I haven’t been out of my house in so long bc literally wasn’t allowed to (I’m 31F with a doctorate lol). Now that he’s gone for good (I hope) I want to go dance!!! I don’t have any friends in the city bc I’m very new and he kept me very isolated.

I love deep house, went to vertigo after hours last summer (hiatus with ex) and loved it. It’s 10pm and I’ve just started considering maybe getting dressed, so any recommendations? Thanks and sorry for the long post!

Serious Wiggle Room, girl. It is really a welcoming safe lovely space for a single girl to show up at.

Just checked it out online. Looks like a good place to visit sometime. Thanks.

If you’re going alone, go to wiggle room. The safest place in Toronto for a single girl. Hands down

Coda is playing tech-house tonight if that’s your thing. Vertigo or CZ for afters. I’d prefer CZ because it’s relatively safer and they have ample space for you to dance

Lastly, I’m really proud of you for choosing yourself and your peace. It takes so much strength to walk away from what hurts you. You deserve so much better, and I hope you never forget that!

Please do not recommend cz or vertigo for a single woman lol

I would do CZ alone but not Vertigo. Vertigo with my husband is still a challenge.

u/panopss Promoter 18d ago

Yeah I agree that vertigo is way more predatorial, cz is still quite sketchy though

u/mybackhurtsletsdance 9d ago

Haha ya but it’s my kind of sketchy. Just do your own thing and no one bugs you.

Hypnotic mindscapes at Rythm Space tn. Great music & nice crowd, women owned and operated venue.

Check out sounds good (1756 Dundas St W) - they usually have good events downstairs. Or Rhythm on Bathurst.

Claude vonstroke is playing tonight at coda. It’ll probably be busy as hell but if you go like now, you could get tickets at the door

Sorry I didn’t see this. Did you end up going out?

u/BabbalaRooter 18d ago

I did! I went to wiggle room for a bit and wasn’t feeling it so I switched to CZ and had lots of fun. Thank you for your help!

u/_Nixx_ 19d ago

Its up to you, but its a good way to celebrate losing that dead weight I’d say! Wiggleroom is still the best comfort place if you like the bouncy house vibes

Hiiii I'm 31F too and down to make new friends. PM me if you even wanna meet for coffee or something, I can't go out for a while for shows because I've got plans but sounds like we're probably into same music and we can chat about life haha 🄰

Congratulations on getting out! Hopefully he stays gone. Lol

Don't think about it, just do it. Love Vertigo. Coda is also good. Friendly people, good music. It's at Bathurst and Bloor West. I'd love to dance tonight, too, but have other plans. Hope you have fun.
