Ken,
I did one of these – renovation of a wood-framed building for second floor night club and dancing – 20 years ago. It was 100 psf then, and IBC 2009 still says 100 psf for dance halls and ballrooms. It has changed hands at least 2-3 times since then, so my only real recommendation is not to base your design on what is happening now.
HTH,
