''It's MouseHunt's Sixth Birthday and the King has decided to get down! Building a giant Dance Hall in the Vacant Lot for everyone to dance and celebrate! Unfortunately, the loud music has also attracted some pesky uninvited partiers.''
== Description and Requirements ==
The '''Dance Hall''' is a special location first available during [[MouseHunt's Sixth Birthday]] event in 2014, requiring a minimum rank of [[Recruit]] to enter. Mice are unable to steal gold or points, but may steal multiple pieces of cheese if not caught.

The area includes a Heads-up Display to track progress in building the elements of a dance hall.  When initially entering, the display includes a button to build the '''Dance Floor''', with a pop-up hint of ''Build a dance floor to attract a conga line of mice!'' and a display message to "Hunt with Cupcake Colby to gather 60 Party Supplies and start rebuilding the Dance Hall!".

After reconstructing the dance floor, the HUD then tracks the progress on the Conga line, showing captured mice, the current target mouse, and protected mice still to be uncovered before reaching [[El Flamenco]] as the tenth mouse in the cycle.  Hovering over the mice shows a pop-up ''The Conga Line is dancing up a storm! Catch the mice in order to unlock and defeat El Flamenco!''.  The bottom now shows five buttons for various improvements to the dance hall:

{| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin:0 20px; font-size:90%; text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse;" class="sortable"
|- bgcolor="#dddddd"
 ! align="left" | Addition
 ! Hint
 ! [[Party Supplies|Party<br/>Supplies]]
|- 
 | Chaperone Table || Get [[Party Charm]]s when you catch [[Terrible Twos]] Mice! || 200
|- 
 | Dance Leaderboard || Adds [[Cupcake Colby Potion]]s and [[Party Charm]]s to your Dance Tournament rewards! || 90
|-

|- 
 | Donkey Tail || Attract the [[Pintail Mouse]] who drops treasure scroll cases! || 110
|- 
 | Sound System || Gain +5 [[Luck]] while at the Dance Party! || 160
|}

Making all five improvements earns a hunter the [[First Place Dance Hall Trophy]] collectible.  On the right of the Heads-up Display are indicators of useful supplies: a button to arm [[Cupcake Colby]] cheese with the hint ''Craft Cupcake Colby to catch the event mice!'', a button to arm [[Party Charm]]s with the hint ''Use Party Charms to loot more Colby Potions and Party Supplies!'', an icon to track current [[Party Supplies]] inventory, and an icon to track current [[Cupcake Colby Potion]] inventory.

== Hunting Strategy ==
Regular cheese is used to hunt mice dropping [[Cupcake Colby Potion]]s.  [[Cupcake Colby]] cheese hunts birthday event mice that drop [[Party Supplies]].  Use of [[Party Charm]]s increases loot rates, by doubling potion drops or adding an extra two supplies for each hunt that produces loot in the first place.  The [[El Flamenco]] mouse can only be found at the end of each Conga line of 10 mice.

===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
Put on your dancing shoes and prepare to get down and groove! Well... once we get this place up and running again! Seems those pesky party mice have wrecked the interior and torn everything down! It looks like it's up to you to get this party started!

• Hunt with different types of cheese to find Cupcake Colby Potions.<br/>
• Arm Cupcake Colby to attract those party-pooping mice to recover precious Party Supplies.<br/>
• Collect enough Party Supplies to restore the Hip and Hop back into this hall!<br/>
• Once the Dance Floor has been restored, you can then use Party Supplies to spruce up the place by adding various upgrades to your dance hall.<br/>
• Party Supplies can also be used in the party shoppes to purchase some extra special items!<br/>

Make sure you do your best to party to the max and build all five upgrades to get a chance at the First Place Dance Hall Trophy to show off all your hard work!

The final and most important party commodity is the Disco Ball! This important item is being held by a mouse particularly interested in the expertise of dancing. Capturing this vermin will prove especially challenging due to a unique defense formation: a mouse conga line!

The Disco Ball is of such value that the shop keeper at the Dance Hall will sell you a new trap, as well as a variety of new trap skins, in exchange for a Disco Ball and some gold. So get out there and PARTY HARD!
