When Abbott Elementary calls, Philadelphia’s beloved institutions answer. For the Please Touch Museum — where Wednesday night’s season four finale was filmed — that meant pausing the renovation of its 1876 marble floor, shutting down for a weekend, and staffers working up to 16-hour days to accommodate hundreds on set.

One recent evening, the small, sweaty dance floor of Club 624 above Rosy's Taco Bar in Bella Vista was teeming with partygoers in fishnets, mesh, crop tops, and tattoos. Under a pink-lit disco ball, nearly everyone sang along in unison to Ivy Queen's "Quiero Bailar," Wisin & Yandel's "Rakata," or Selena Quintanilla's "Como La Flor." The versatile dancers twerked to Latin trap and old-school reggaeton before pairing off for bachata and salsa hits. This wasn't just any club night: It was Sazón.
