Saturday flashback: Dancing through the East Village

Photos by Stacie Joy 

Given today’s cool, rainy weather, we're flashing back to last Saturday — about as perfect a spring day as you can get (OK, maybe a little too warm for May) — and a few scenes from the annual Dance Parade along St. Mark's Place and the DanceFest in Tompkins Square Park. 

The 20th annual event featured hundreds of dancers, DJs and live bands representing a wide range of dance styles and organizations from across the city.

    Thank you for the wonderful photos, as always, Stacie Joy and EV! I didn't catch much of the parade this year - these costumes are fantastic!
    Was the whip-cracking guy in the parade this year? He was a highlight for me last year!
