Watching the Dance Parade and DanceFest

The Dance Parade was back on NYC streets yesterday afternoon... as more than a billed 10,000 dancers took part in the 16th iteration of the festival that includes the DanceFest in Tompkins Square Park. 

EVG contributor Stacie Joy was along the parade route on St. Mark's Place and in Tompkins Square Park... and shared these images that show the color and pagentry of the more than 130 participating groups of dancers...

Given the energy and enthusiasm, it was often hard to tell that the heat index was in the high 90s...
