Dance Parade Protests NYC Cabaret Laws

The protesters want the city to repeal the ban, which the state Supreme Court’s Appellate Division upheld in February in a ruling against the Gotham West Coast Swing Club and several other plaintiffs.

New York’s restrictive dance laws have been on the books since 1926, at the height of the Jazz Age, when they were passed in part to stop interracial public dancing while enforcing a Prohibition-era definition of “public lewdness.”

To this day in New York’s five boroughs, it is illegal to get up and move your body to a rhythm in any locale where three or more people congregate and food or drink is served _ unless the business obtains a dance license. - AP

Monica Morales of News Channel 4, WNBC is on her toes. She caught me taking her picture from way across the avenue. At least I think that’s who this is.

Google Video is much easier to deal with than youtube. The processing time is almost immediate, as opposed to YouTube, which so far has had me waiting 3 hours for the same video.

This has been going on for several months, if not longer.
