a thing in 64 photos in 2009 dance showing 2009 only · show all years And an extra special thanks to Scott & Leigh! In addition to pulling dance moves like this all night, they also shot tons of footage and interviews of the party... Mer and Scott getting down. Around you go! The next thing you know he was out there on the dance floor throwing her around like a human hula hoop! Ta-da! Scott busted out some crazy-ass Footloose moves and started swinging Leigh around! (Steve's expression in the background is great.) Hahaha. Mer and Chuck! Sarah! Scott attacked Matt with a vicious shimmy. Matt WORMED his way out! Me vs. Mer! When a circle forms around you on the dance floor, it can only mean one thing...DANCE OFF! Leigh and Scott. Mer, Chuck and Hank! BITE YOUR TIE! BITE YOUR TIE! Mer's moves! (PS - Still drinking double-scotches!) Mer, Kristi, Elyse, Dave and Marina on the dance floor. Not sure what song they picked as the big lead off, but whatever it was it sure got Hank's attention! If not for our last-minute guests, the party would've definitely been over! We had the dance floor for another whole hour. YMCA? After dinner dancing! Meredith chose Tous les garcons et les filles by Francoise Hardy (All the boys and girls ) We got to have a "first dance" and everthing. The music is unlike anything I've ever heard. It's fast and frantic and filled with all sorts of ringing bells. There were a troupe of dancers that came out and did elaborate dances to each of the songs. The lighting at that place was awesome. They light fixtures looked like they were from BioShock. It's hard to see a light like this and not start dancing. Yup. Double fist hoist. Sweaty dancing until late! Happy birthday, Leigh! Mike Max is the band's drummer and he was going for it so hard. Drinking an entire beer THROUGH your own shirt that you've pulled up over your face on the dance floor is NEXT LEVEL SHIT. Funky chicken or The Mick? Busting moves with Uncle Ira. Awesome. NOW COMES THE DIP. Yay. ...but closer inspection revealed that Marina was just standing on Dave's feet. Haha. Dave took Marina out onto the dance floor. At first glance it looked like they were doing some kind of crazy-synchronized rehearsed dance routine... The band knows how to get a crowd dancing. Later that night, we came back to the East Village and drank beers on Pauly's roof with Pizza the dog. While we were there, we asked Pirate Mike if he would mind if one of us danced on the bar. He certainly didn't! BLAMO! 10 POINTS! All....THAT.... MJ dance party. Ease on in... Frank answered her wild call. Lassoing in the birthday boy for a participatory dance! Now lean back all the way! Down on your knees! Split! ...earned her a spank from Lawrence. Haha. Meredith's dance floor stylings... 1am and the dance party was still going strong. Melissa and Amy cutting it up. Party soldier. Shoes off! Sandy dance party. My parents cutting some serious rug. My dad is ALL about the hustle. Yes! Awww. Then my mom joined Brett for a dance... ...and Lee joined Amy. First dance! People were still there shaking their bums.
