Businesses told that employee holiday parties are banned without permit

NORFOLK (INTELLIHUB) — Norfolk businesses are getting large fines and visits from the fire marshal for hosting holiday parties for their employees without a permit.

The Satya Yoga Studio in Norfolk is one of the businesses who have had their holiday parties shut down in recent weeks. The police told the owner that she could not host an event with dancing unless she had a nightclub permit and an entertainment permit.

“I just wanted to have my community of students here to have a good time,” said instructor Logan Taylor.

Not long after she posted a flyer for the party on Facebook, a Fire Marshal showed up.

“She said, well, it says on Facebook there’s going to be dancing…” Logan says. “She said, well, that’s not allowed unless you have a nightclub permit, and entertainment permit.”

According to the ordinance, it’s considered a dance hall if you use more than 10 percent of the building for dancing.

The laws are obviously ancient, one part of the ordinance reads:

It shall be unlawful for any person operating a public dance hall in the city to suffer or permit in such dance hall any lewd, indecent or immoral dance, posture, performance or conduct by any person. (Code 1958, § 15.1-7)
