ABC Wednesday: D is for dancing

During the summer there are free Friday night dance lessons in Jack London Square.  The evening of this photo, about 200 people showed up to learn The Hustle.  After the lesson, however, most people jumped in to do the Electric Slide.  Oaklanders are such rebels.  P.S.  Don't be fooled by the clothes; this was one of those rare, warm summer nights.  To take a gander at more "D" photos, visit Mrs. Nesbitt's meme ABC Wednesday.

  5. You sure have some vivid color going on in this picture. Very nice. I like how for the most part everyone is still except for the one girl in the center showing movement. Pretty cool. Great capture.

  14. This photo looks like a Depression era painting by someone like Thomas Hart Benton, with the full-bodied subjects and vivid colors.
