Young Dancers Enjoy Midsummer Night Swing

by baad lamb
At this Saturday Night's rendition of Midsummer Night Swing, with JD McPherson providing his distinctive retro-contempo swing, an enthusiastic group of youngsters show off their collective dance moves outside the paying walls. Although the steps they were all practicing look like a Broadway chorus line routine, it's clear they are trained in classical ballet. Perhaps they're summer term students at the School of American Ballet?
Since I'm not a regular ballet attendee, maybe a few of them will defect to the contemporary dance scene, and with luck, I'll be applauding one or two of them in a few years down at the Joyce.

I'm pretty sure that is the dance instructor Adam Lee, Lindy-Hopping with a partner in between views of the kids.

Tonight! - BLOWOFF

If you're in the mood to dance with hot furry men after the Tom of Finland show (and who wouldn't be?), come to the Canal Room tonight at 11:30. Kick off your Pride Celebration right when DJs Bob Mould and Rich Morel present BLOWOFF.

I've been going to these parties when they were underground at DC's 9:30 Club. They have grown over the last 5 years into a hugely popular dance party for guys who like an alternative to diva dance tracks. Check out the setlists on their website for proof.
