With so much going on in the neighborhood/city/country/world to get down about, it was really uplifting to see so many happy people spontaneously sharing a good time.
More and more people kept joining in until there must have been over a hundred letting loose in the street. In the video below, a woman comes in at the 1:10 mark who embodies the ecstatic feeling of the crowd.

I absolutely love your pics and video. You truly captured this event! I have a big smile and i'm throwing down a few dance steps in honor of the East Village! To those who were dancing - your spirit is inspiring. Thanks Gog, this made my day.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I realized I really don't see many smiling people these days, so it was really a boost to the spirit to experience this. It reminded me why I like living here (sometimes we need reminding).
