No Dancing

Dans un bar de china town j'ai vu un panneau "No Dancing" accroche derriere le bar.

La "Loi Cabaret" est specifique a la ville de New York et existe depuis plus de 80 ans. En theorie, elle interdit aux gens de danser dans les bars. La pratique de la danse est reservee a certains clubs, qui doivent acquerir une license. En pratique, c'est une autre histoire.

Voila ce que dit precisemment le New York City Department of Consumer Affairs:

"Any room, place or space in the city in which patron dancing is permitted in connection with the restaurant business or a business that sells food and/or beverages to the public. Note: This is only a general explanation of the rules regarding Cabaret licenses. You may not operate a cabaret without a license. Licensees are required to comply with all relevant laws and rules, including the Consumer Protection Law. To get a copy of the actual law explaining whether or not you need a license for this category, call 311 or come in person to the DCA Licensing Center in Manhattan at the address above."
