Dance Night’s With Live Music
HOW THIS GUIDE WORKS
This section is built for winter nights when you want a real plan, not endless scrolling. I pulled one main show worth committing to, then a few more nearby options so you can keep the momentum going all month.
WAYFINDER FILM TOUR, CURTIS WOODMAN, TAHOE ART HAUS NIGHT

Why It Is Worth Going
It’s high energy, standing room, full dance floor, and it feels like a real Friday night in the middle of January. Show up ready to move and you’ll walk out warmed up without ever touching a fireplace.
BLÜ EGYPTIAN AT THE DIVIDED SKY, SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

Why It Is Worth Going
If you want live music with a tighter room feel, this is your move. Same winter night energy, different vibe, and it’s an easy yes if you’re already down in South Lake for the weekend.
MANZANITA MUSIC AT MOODY’S BISTRO BAR AND BEATS

Why It Is Worth Going
This is the local Thursday night win, downtown Truckee, no big production, just a good room and good music. Perfect when you want something fun but you still want to be in bed at a reasonable hour.
TOMMY STINSON AND FRIENDS AT BREWERY ARTS CENTER, CARSON CITY
Date
Friday, January 16
Time
7:00 pm to 9:30 pm, seating opens 6:30 pm

Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tommy-stinson-the-replacements-friends-brewery-arts-center-carson-city-tickets-1977131764330
Why It Is Worth Going
This is the clean curveball option when Tahoe is stormy and you want a guaranteed indoor night that still feels like an event. Easy drive, real venue, and you get that bigger show feel without the casino crowd.
HOW DANCE FLOOR NIGHTS CONNECT TO TAHOE REAL ESTATE
Nights like this are a reminder that living up here is not just ski days, it’s having options when the weather changes, being close to the spots you actually go, and knowing what your normal week looks like in winter. That lifestyle piece matters a ton when people are deciding between neighborhoods, road access, and being walkable to town versus tucked away in the trees.
