Thousands of dancers converged this afternoon for the annual DANCE PARADE in the heart of the East Village, and the Dance Festival at Tompkins Square Park. From hula to swing, to tango and even pole dancing,  a wide variety of dance forms were represented. The goal of these events is to promote dance as an expressive and unifying art form by showcasing all forms of dance, as well as to enlighten the public about the opportunity to experience dance and celebrate the diversity of this art form.
