Boston Blend 2016

Did you know that James Brown personally saved Boston from rioting by holding a concert the day after MLK Jr. was shot? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BawG-N9_FR8 This is an event we should commemorate! And what better way than a cross dance styles gala to bring people together? Organizers from the blues, swing, and Chicago Steppin' communities have been working together to make this happen - because no matter what else we dance to, we all love Soul music!.
