Dance Revolution
    Today’s first-time brides are more mature than ever, with a median age of 25, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Dressing up a friend in a veil and going on a scavenger hunt may delight younger girls but brides in their late 20s and early 30s might want more sophisticated fun, such as live music at downtown Milwaukee’s Jazz in the Park, held at Cathedral Square Park, every Thursday from June through September, followed by a night out dancing.
    To learn some new moves, head over to Hot Water, a dance club in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood, which offers swing dancing lessons on Thursday nights, then take a turn on the dance floor, as a DJ plays swing music all night long.
    Reservations for dance lessons are not required, but owner Paul Mueller recommends calling ahead if you plan to visit with a large group, especially on Saturday nights. They’re always packed, he says, with a line after 10 p.m. The club has been so successful that he plans to expand with a larger space for dancing and a VIP lounge. But he still expects the dance floor to be packed.
    If you’d rather spice things up a bit, stop in for dinner at La Merenda, also in the Walker’s Point area. Share several small plates of multicultural cuisine, then take a salsa dancing lesson at Hot Water on Saturdays.
