On April 30th, BSEC, in collaboration with Good Neighbors of Park Slope, had a community dance, led by Laurie Shayler, from Dance Connection.
It was a lovely night, full of gracious steps and many fun missteps, with about 50 friends of all ages, sharing a great night with music, dance, wine, and snacks.
Some pictures from the event can be found below:
