Eight Gigs: Moving Units

Every movie involving dance as its theme has a montage where the heavily identifiable characters on the dance floor line up into two columns facing each other, and a person from each end pair up and dance their way down the aisle, often in flamboyant and unexpected ways, while the crowds cheer and clap their approval. That’s what a Moving Units show is like … a face-off of electronic music so universally danceable that everyone—from the spiky-haired misfit geezer to the art house fashionista millennial—has their cinematically promised five minutes of celebrity on the dance floor. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/MovingUnits.
