“Shake what your momma gave you — all the way down Broadway and over to Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. Or, if you're too shy to samba, watch as more than five thousand dancers tango, break, hula, tap, and belly dance in 2010's Dance Parade. After the two-step over to the park, troupes specializing in 59 unique dance styles put on free shows and offer lessons, from bhangra to ballet. It's a beautiful celebration of human motion, so join in and get movin'!”

Dance Parade says:
On Saturday, May 22, 2010 over 70 styles of dance, over 200 dance organizations, and over 10 thousand dancers will converge on the streets of New York City for a free outdoor dance parade and festival! We will boogie our way down Broadway, hula, swing and Irish step our way past Union Square and into University Place. At Eighth Street we will Salsa, Tango and Waltz East into Saint Marks Street. Our House, Techno and Disco floats will have afternoon shoppers wigglin as they watch us get down in the heart of the East Village. A straight shot from there brings us to DanceFest in Tompkins Square Park. At DanceFest we will come together and celebrate watching free dance performances, be able to take free dance lessons and enjoy a Dance Party.
