NYC- dancing (and embarrassment) in the streets

After we finished up our carriage ride thru Central Park, we saw these street dancers putting on a show out front of the park. The boys were all pretty whiney and done in by this point, but I dragged them over to watch anyway. (Aren’t I the meanest?)

The guys were very talented and did some awesome tricks and dancing. Not to mention that they were pretty funny as well- telling everyone to come closer to the edge and not to worry- that they wouldn’t hurt them- they were just black.  So they grabbed Patrick out of the crowd (he was less than thrilled- but I was really excited) and stood him in a row with 5 of the dancers with one getting ready to jump over all of them. After some fakeout false starts, the guy FLIPPED over them (as they said “over 5 black guys and 1 white kid”). So glad I caught it.

Poor Patrick. But in the end he said it was cool. Grudgingly.

Tommorrow, be on the lookout for the RVC Education Foundation Dancing with the Teachers Gala that I shot last weekend. I still don’t think I’m all the way recovered!
