Last week, we showed up to Terminal 5—the city’s newest concert hangar located two miles from the nearest subway on the west coast of mid-Manhattan—and found us a cozy zone on the second-level balcony. On stage, DJ Blaqstarr was spinning some Jay-Z; on the floor, a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd stood still. Amusing. It seems there’s some taboo against dancing unless the headliner is the one making the music.
