Join DJ Rick G for Hand Dancing with DJ on the Marketplace Plaza on Sunday afternoons! Hand dancing was born and bred in Washington, D.C., during the Motown era, which began in the late 1950s. It is essentially a smooth version of the Lindy Hop that features almost constant hand holding and turning between partners, and several step patterns used to keep time.
DJ Rick G has been presenting Hand Dancing and Line Dancing events in Washington, D.C. for more than a decade. Join us for an all ages, all abilities hand dancing event while Rick plays Motown classics and soul and R&B hits from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Come early and Rick will walk you through the steps!
