Teenagers pack into a large black room with high ceilings to dance to the tunes of their favorite artists. The VERA Project provides good, clean fun for youth, with shows rival those at Seattle's most revered venues. The project allows artists to directly connect with an all-too-often neglected part of their audience.

Fusion Ultra Lounge

Fusion is a dance club located in Seattle's U-District, near the University of Washington. Fusion is one of the only places in town that allows guests under 21 but also serves alcohol. Guests under 21 may be distinguished by bracelets or stamps at the bar, but not on the dance floor. The club interior is expansive and open to accommodate the wall-to-wall sea of people that enter the crowd on event nights, which feature exclusive DJs or other performing artists. Fusion is a favorite among college students looking for house music, lasers and lots of dancing.
