The Coney Island Dancers, whose Boardwalk dance parties are legendary, had their annual street festival on Saturday. If you missed it, take a look at this video from Jim McDonnell of a solo dancer on West 10th Street. Every year, Jim makes a video titled Coney Island Dancing, so we have a feeling there’s more to come.
The second video by jrmojicannyc1 features a stellar troupe of guest performers’ tribute to Michael Jackson. The Coney Island Dancers outdoor house music dance parties continue through September.

The dancing symbolizes Coney Island’s free spirit and it’s rebirth as the People’s Playground. For a subway token, an afternoon of free fun is attenable.
Jim’s filming technique on the first video is exceptional, perhaps a second viewing is required to appreciate the filming technique.
Thank you, Mr Hitchcock!
