Hundreds of people boogied on down to Rice Park on July 10^th for Summer Dance – man, it was Disco night! The weather was beautiful, and so were the people, as they learned some ‘far out’ dance moves from the Arthur Murray dance instructors.  And then, the party really started when Boogie Wonderland took the stage! Here are some photos of the awesome evening:

Join us on Thursday, July 17th, for more fun on the dance floor for Salsa night! We will welcome back to the Summer Dance stage one of our most popular bands, Salsa del Soul. Salsa del Soul is a group of talented musicians performing the best Latin music styles including Son, Son Montuno, Plena, Cha-cha-cha, Bachata, Timba and, of course, Salsa! Manny and Carmen Rubio, with help from their two daughters, will provide the dance instruction at 6PM, and the band plays at 7:15PM.
