Imagine a world where all of Earth’s major conflicts could be resolved through competitive dance. Wouldn’t it be amazing to prevent massive bloodshed and never-ending war by simply forcing the Israelis and the Palestinians, the Bloods and the Crips, or the GOP and the Dems to just boogie till shit got better? Unfortunately, humankind remains so primitive and small-minded that we won’t even consider the pop-and-lock solution. It’s sad.
Nevertheless, for a preview of a peaceful dance-based democracy, check out Unite and Dance 2 at the Feathers Ballroom Dance Studio this Saturday. DJ Crunchtime will provide the soundtrack, and b-boys and fly girls of every creed, color, and ilk — including Jon Boogz, Jiggsaw, Raj, Oreo, Kidd, Karma, and others — will battle for a $500 grand prize. But cash won’t be their motivation. They’ll bust moves for world peace, prosperity, and the next generation. Or maybe it is the money. Either way, the show begins at 7:30 p.m., and admission is ten dollars at the door.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
