Dancers and dance groups hold dance parade and festival to raise awareness of restrictive cabaret laws; 32nd Street and Broadway to Washington Square Park.
Dance Parade NYC
FREE
Get out and DANCE for all the right reasons besides being a
human right, these laws are arcane. IF you need an even more
important reason try economic impact. Clubs, music dwarf sports
and broadway combined.
I have been on the wrong side of a city padlock. Being shut down
for dancing. When it happens your like, wait, wtf?. It's how you felt
then and that was the f'en 80's. Things have gotten far darker since.
(Rudy really helped transform an hassle to oppression in the 90s)
This is not just a listing. It is a call to action for anyone who
values the depth and culture this city offers. If you have
ever danced went to a show, club, hell..tapped your foot,
go out and support this. It is a cry for all of our rights.
(heck I'll say it ... your un american in the way it used to mean if you dont show rain or shine. -ed)
Go out anywhere afterward and dance dance dance.
