Are there any nightclubs “just” for teens around LA?
As asked.
I’ve been searching for weeks. The only two I found was Club Starz and Chain Reaction,
but those are in Orange County, I can’t get back from there with transportation after the party (if you have a way to get back from Orange County to Pasadena after 11 in 2 hours say so, too, thank you), I don’t have a car.
I’m talking about clubs for people under 18, that are open in weekly bases. Please, no Salsa or Swing club. I want the ones that are dark and people dance – not – with suit and ties. Doesn’t have to serve alcohol. I just want to have some fun.
Please, if anyone know this kind of club, answer me.
If not, show me any ways that I can find dance parties for teens in anyplace the metro can get to from Pasadena that’s hosted every weekend. I don’t like to go to mall, bowling, Old Town, or dodger’s game – it’s so boring.
Thank you very much.
Well, you’re persistent. I hope you’re as persistent in your school work!
There really isn’t anything around Pasadena/LA, if there was, I would know. There have been private parties off of facebook and flyers, but because of the deaths, the liability is just too great (major lawsuits), so those have mostly stopped. Big private teen parties are kept super quiet now, no all school parties anymore. Parents don’t want to be sued when someone ends up in a car accident or worse.
There are teen country club dances, but those are only for members and you would know about them if you were a member. Like I wrote before, contact some community centers (all over LA, look at city websites) and see if they have any dances. Coral Center has really good (cheap) summer teen programs and is connected to most teen services around Pasadena and the only dance I heard about was one in August. http://coralcenter.org/ (They don’t have this year’s program up yet, but you can see last year’s.) I think you need to keep busy!
And those activities aren’t boring! My son goes with a bunch of friends (girls and guys) and has a great time, and he’s done all sorts of things most teens haven’t, so he’s rather hard to amuse. It’s about who you are with, more than what you’re doing. Get some friends to hang out with, and you’ll have a good time no matter where you are.

It’s too dangerous to be taking public transportation that late at night. Can’t you go down to the OC with a friend who has a car?
Good luck on your search!
