'Do's at Dance From this week's Nightranger: Dance at Arena, the Tuesday 18-and-(barely)-over electro club featuring spin-whiz DJ Paparazzi on the decks. Wow. This is one pulsating party, and though anyone over, say, 24 might feel a bit long in the tooth here, the energy and awesome display of hair-gel skillz are, funnily enough, very Glimmer Twins circa '77.
