Hot Time, Dancing in the City

See video

Hundreds came with their dancing shoes on to show off their moves June 25 at the City of Cambridge's Dance Party, an annual event in front of city hall first held back in 1996 as part of Cambridge's celebration of its 150th anniversary. It proved so popular the city decided to reprise it every year, now incorporating a light show with images illuminating the city hall facade and spotlights moving over the crowd and the night sky. It's the simplest of community celebrations--no food, no agenda, no professional performers, just a do-it-yourself good time.

Great dance party, loved being together with everyone just having really fun time together. I lost track of my friends in the throng but it didn't even matter! Had a good time anyway. The crowd was super cool.

Karen,

This one of my all-time favorite events in the city. Thanks for the history lesson and for recording some of the fantastic moves!

Best,
Phoebe
