October 17th:"The Importance of Being Wilde" @ 303 Bond Street
If beauty is your religion, you are hereby summoned to join your fellow dandies, fops, narcissists and coquettes at "Dances of Vice: The Importance of Being Wilde" for an evening of peacockery and temptations to celebrate the birthday of DOV patron saint and godfather of glam Oscar Wilde - featuring glitter rock ballads from glam phenomenon MICHAEL T & the VANITIES, exotic serpent-dancer NIKKI le VILLAIN, the sensual sophisticates of COMPANY XIV, Victorian sketch comedies and puppetry presented by The ROYAL BARITARIAN PLAYERS, and special guest, the infamous MISTER BURTON. This event will also feature a specialty cocktail menu presented by your dapper bartender, GERARD!
** RSVP for Wilde & Become a fan of DOV on Facebook for updates! **
Furthermore, Dances of Vice sister night DISKO NOUVEAUX will be taking place this Sunday at The Vault (225 E. Houston) in a special "WILDE BOYS" Edition to start the debauchery early.

October 31: "The Dwindling Party": An Edward Gorey Halloween
This Halloween, Dances of Vice presents "The Dwindling Party", an ominous Edward Gorey themed Victorian Halloween fete with a murder mystery undertone at the 303 Bond Street Theater that promises to be most elegantly deranged.
The Dwindling Party will feature the murder ballads of special musical guests THE SCARRING PARTY, sensational crime scenes performed by resident rapscallions COMPANY XIV, fashions by that ruffled ruffian PUREVILE!, and the musical pandemonium of Ben Ickies' 24-piece chamber rock orchestra, THIS AMBITIOUS ORCHESTRA. Artists FYODOR PAVLOV and LAWRENCE GULLO will be offering hand-drawn Gorey portraits to our dwindling guests!
DRESS CODE: Neglected Murderesses, Doubtful Guests, Gashlycrumb Tinies, Hapless Children, Gilded Bats, Anguishing Artists, Restless Widows, Lonesome Mourners &c. Costume is required for admission, and prizes from GOREY DETAILS (for all your Gorey needs) and BOILERPLATE will be awarded for best dressed!
As a special bonus, those who come to our little corner of Brooklyn for Halloween are in for two awesome events in one: Gemini & Scorpio is hosting a Halloween bash right across the street from us, and admission to the G&S party is only $10 for paid DOV guests after 1:30AM! Similarly, paid G&S party guests can also attend The Dwindling Party for $10 after 1:30AM to catch the tail end of our exciting live entertainment and dance the night away.
