Care to dance online? The 14th annual Dance Parade is today



This year's Dance Parade — the 14th annual — lives on online. And it's happening today (Saturday!) from 1-3:30 p.m.

Anticipating 1,000 people dancing-in-place from around the world, parade organizers have lined up family-friendly fun and movement joy in DJ-lead dance rooms, free dance classes with top professionals, dance-offs between participants, flashmob, free dance classes, and will announce winners of Dare-to-Dance challenge. which invited house-bound choreographers to submit new work to win cash prizes. Register to participate at this link. Those wanting to watch can see the show on Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and YouTube Live!

In previous years, the Dance Parade sees St. Mark's Place as a main route while the subsequent Dancefest takes place in Tompkins Square Park.

Instead, you can enjoy a parade of stupidly drunks in and around the park.

I enjoy the spectacle of the dance parade but I'd rather listen to our resident jazz band by the fountain than competing sound systems at max volume on a day like today.

Oh The Dance Parade and Tompkins Square event is one of my favorites -- there is so much joy in the air and it's a taste of what community events used to be like decades ago. Thyy only give them a 4 hour permit and it brings in dozens of styles of dance and culture.
