Things are funkier elsewhere and appreciably cheaper: delegates can rub elbows and shake a leg with natives of outlying boroughs at the Tuxedo Ballroom (Third Ave. and 17th St.; $6 cover on weekends). At Barney Googles (225 E. 86th St.; $4 cover on weekend nights and free admission for women before 10 p.m.) you can hear both disco and highly spiced Latin music, called salsa.
