The Ordway’s first FREE Summer Dance Event was on Thursday, June 13^th and, oh boy, what a beautiful evening in Rice Park!  The theme that night was Surf Rock and it coincided with the third night of the Ordway’s presentation of “Buddy:  The Buddy Holly Story”.  Everyone loved the band, The Fractals, who played three full sets, including a few Buddy Holly tunes.  It was a perfect evening to enjoy the weather and dance under the stars.  Here are a few photos that capture the fun:

Salsa Night is next in the Summer Dance series, this Thursday, June 20^th!  Dance instruction by Manny and Carmen Rubio begins at 6PM and then the hot Latin band, Salsa del Soul, takes the stage at 7:15PM.   Salsa del Soul is a Summer Dance favorite, who perform the best Latin music styles including Son, Son Montuno, Plena, Cha-cha-cha, Bachata, Timba and, of course, Salsa!  We’ll see you in Rice Park on Thursday!
