Rained out Thursday... and the rest of it

6/21 Happy Night: Appropriate with Pink star bracelets, but I heard it was raining men and actually drops too to boot! Thus the night was eventually cancelled....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Swinging 6/22 - It was a Perfect Night: Weather wise and crowd wise was the call of many! Who else of the regulars was on dance floor? TBC....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



6/23 Classic Mambo with Tito Puente Jr: SOLD OUT! A slammin' crowd loaded up the plaza and danced themselves silly - Viva La Puente!



Big Hint: Buy your tix for all Salsa Sat's if you want to guarantee being on the floor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



6/26 Ballroom Swing: A festive crowd was prepared to heat up the dance floor! The band really did fire up the crowd to their heat exhaustion.....



Who was missing? ***The Flipper ***The Beatnick ***Cover Girl - and others...



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Irish Jig Night: 6/27 - I'll let ya know what happened... second hand ;^D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thursday 6/28 - Eventually cancelled (Though it was a great night by 9:45!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday 6/29 - GIDDYAP!

Western Swing: Guess those "afraid" of Swing uptown was there ;^D

But they missed a slamming Frankie Interview, Band, and book signing!

Oh well - catch it on You Tube....

WOW - and some!

A Full House Opener Tuesday Eve 6/20!

Yup - it was very busy on the plaza Tuesday eve! George and David definately duked it out and left nothing for want as they joined hearty forces for the finale....

Who made it? Amongst the crowd here's a few who were on the dance floor - see who you recognized:

**Bump and Grind **Spoc **The Jack Rabbit **Toad (he was moving!)

**The Rabbi ** El Maestro **The Harlem Socialite **Rhythmless Nation

Special kudos to The Hodge Posse that came from The Freddy D Academy in Harlem USA - bunch of cool teens and a Chill Principal who are welcome back on the scene anytime!!


Wednesday Latin 6/21!

We got a little scared there in the beginning but a great crowd eventually made the trek for a mixed evening of Caribbean Sounds! Even some swing dancers made it - impressive!

Among those spotted tonight were....

**The Pirate **Lucy and Ricky

Thursday and Friday ( 6/21 and 6/22) spins will be reported over the weekend, but trus' me -

It'll be HOT and FLAMING on Thursday ;^D
