Join DJ Rick G for Hand Dancing with DJ on the Marketplace Plaza! Bring a partner or get paired up 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!
Biweekly, Sunday afternoons on the Marketplace Plaza, 3pm-7pm, May 4th through October 5th.
We can’t wait to see your moves!
