(b) “Public dance hall” means any room, place or space which is primarily intended and used for, and which is licensed for the purpose of, holding a public dance or public ball, except, however, that the term “public dance hall” shall not apply to school buildings, churches, club rooms of fraternal, civic or social organizations, and organizations of veterans of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps. Any room, place or space which is licensed by the Department of Liquor Control of the State and which is used or primarily intended for the sale of liquor either at wholesale or retail shall not qualify as a public dance hall, even though a dance floor might be a part of the physical make-up of the premises.
(c) “Dance school” means any place, room or space in which classes in dancing are held and a fee for instruction is charged.
(Ord. 219-1980. Passed 9-2-80.)

Every public dance hall and dance school shall post its license in a conspicuous place within the hall where the dance is held.
(Ord. 219-1980. Passed 9-2-80.)
