Reality-TV contestant-wannabes need to get their start someplace—so if you want to show America you’ve got talent, test your moves on Williamsburg first. The Soul Clap Party and Dance Off has competitors in bell-bottoms (preferably in primary-color prints) vying for half the take at the door. DJ Jonathan Toubin, from underground music zine (and label of the same name) New York Night Train, spins the 45s. The mid-’60s to early-’70s r&b and funk will have you dancing with the stars; a panel of neighborhood celebrities picks the winner. Past judges have included CMJ editor in chief Kenny Herzog, Tha Pumpsta and Lil Rae Rae of Durty Nanas, and Michael Gerner and Ivan Sunshine of the band Vietnam. (Jackson)
