DUPONT DANCE PARTY!

So there I am, walking through Dupont Circle around 4:30 Saturday afternoon, just minding my own business...



It's the first warm and sunny weekend in months. With all these people just hanging out in a public park, I might think this was New York City — except for the fact that I was obviously in Dupont Circle and not, say, Union Square.



But wait a minute. Something's amiss here. Not enough lackadasicality. Too much revelry. Why, it's...



It's a dance party!

I know what you're thinking: "Come on and dance guys grab a girl don't wait make the twirl / It's your world and I'm just a squirrel / Trying to get a nut to move your butt / To the dance floor / So you what's up hands in the air / Come on say yeah / Everybody over here / Everybody over there / The crowd is live enough as I pursue this groove..."



Whoooooo! Except this is a swing dance party. For reals.



A swing dance party led not by a big band, but by a Dell Inspiron (look closely).



We work hard, we play hard.



Of course, no dance would be complete without its wallflowers.



Dedicated to the steelworkers yuppies of America northwest DC. Keep reaching for that rainbow!
