What happens when we put together the words discotheque (dance hall), club and disco together? Yes, you guessed it right we are talking about Nightclubs. But then what is a night club in a layman term? Well, in a simple term it’s an entertainment place which is also popular as a discotheque, club or disco in Kolkata. This special kind of club remains open until midnight in the city. It has a special dedicated spot for dancing or the dance floor which is not found in a pub or a bar. Here, DJ or the Disc Jockey plays disco, hip-hop, rock, pop, etc., according to the theme or the mood of the club environment. Besides, some night clubs have the arrangement for live music as well. Together with these, there are suitable arrangements for a snack along with various types of soft and hard drinks as well.
Basically, there’re certain things to keep in mind before you check out in a night club in the city. For instance, females should avoid dresses like saris and churidars as because these may obstruct the free movement on the dance floor. Males may wear smart casual dresses but dresses like shorts, tracksuits, etc., should be avoided at any cost. Besides, if you are attending any special theme party of the city night club make sure to dress up according to it to match up. Moreover, you need to pay special attention to make-up as well. Finally, care should be taken on the dance floor as well. If you enjoy dancing then join the group or else simply avoid it.
