File under: things Brooklyn Heights residents will be complaining about. Last year some of the borough's locals rallied against the Movies With A View series at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park—so if Annie Hall was too loud for them, they're going to be just thrilled to hear about the new Celebrate Brooklyn! Bridge Dance Party coming in May! (After all, these are also the same people who protested a pretty carousel!) The series will run for three consecutive Thursday nights starting at 7p.m., and will include deejays, performances, and even dance lessons. The lineup for the traditional Celebrate Brooklyn! series, entering its 33rd season, will be announced at the first event.
- May 12th: Funk Dance Party with Maceo Parker and DJ Spinna
- May 19th: Tropical Dance Party with La Excelencia and Que Bajo?! Featuring Uproot Andy and Geko Jones
- May 26th: Bhangra Dance Party with Red Baraat and DJ Rekha
Rev up your helicopters, aim them towards Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 1, and get ready to dance, dance, dance!
