NY Law Upholds Old Ban On Dancing in Bars, Restaurants & Even Some Clubs w/o Permits

Can this be happening in the largest city in the US (and one of the largest cities in the world)? I can't believe the court upheld an 80-year-old law prohibiting people from dancing in bars, restaurants and certain clubs that don't have specific permits to allow dancing--in New York City, the home of Broadway musicals. It was Broadway musicals (and film versions thereof) that put the idea into my head as a child (an idea I've had ever since) that life is a celebration and anyone is free to break into song and dance anywhere, any time, in a bus, a subway, a supermarket, and yes, even a bar.
