Get steamy with a dance party at a Russian bath

The Brooklyn Paper

Don’t put away that bathing suit for good just yet.

Party people Gemini and Scorpio give you one good reason to break out the bikini and swim trunks — their Steamy Dance Night at the Russian Baths.

On Nov. 12, a Coney Island Avenue banya stays open late for the return of the legendary party. There will be Russian, Turkish and Swedish steam rooms, a jacuzzi, a cold plunge pool, professionals on hand for platza and massages, a poolside dance floor, rooftop smoking deck, hookah lounge and chill-out rooms for when you’re ready to dry off.

This is a dance party after all, and to help get you moving, there’ll be a live gypsy band and a Balkan/ethno-mesh DJ. Oh, and don’t forget the free pierogies and open vodka bar (what else?) from 9:30-10:30 pm.

Somehow, you’ll still manage come away cleaner than when you went in.

Steamy Dance Night at Brooklyn Banya [602 Coney Island Ave. between Beverley Road and Avenue C in Kensington, (718) 853-1300], Nov. 12, 7 pm-2 am. Tickets $35-$85. For info, visit www.geminiandscorpio.com.

Joey from Clinton Hills says:
does California Hot Tub Gonorrhea still exist? I remember folks talking about it a lot in the 1980's.
