Many of the dance clubs were located in residential neighborhoods. Bar closing in NYC is 4 a.m. So, you have a 15,000 sq ft club and 400 pouring out in the middle of the night. It also allowed them to shutter a lot of the problem clubs.
Obviously, if you're in your local ginmill and start dancing to the juke nobody is going to stop you.
In NYC the intent of the law is often different than the letter of the law itself.
