The Floor, improv night at KING KING

As mentioned in my list, this is one of my favorite places to dance in Los Angeles. The third Monday of every month, The Floor improv night brings dancers and musicians of all forms out to play.

It is a bit of a scene, albeit a very friendly and inviting one. There is a heavy community vibe. An evening originated by two friends and dancers, Sascha Escandon and Carolina Cerisola. “We wanted a night for us.” Which is exactly what they’ve created. A space were salsa, swing, burlesque, hip-hop, flamenco, tap, tango, and other forms of dance co-exist with live and DJ’d music. Pretty good deal for $12.

For as many insanely talented dancers* and musicians who pack in to the loft-like space, no one is made to feel intimidated. All are welcome here.

Last time I went I took a couple of pics with my phone’s camera….

A tap duet, accompanied by saxaphone.

Breakers taking to the floor.

Craig Robinson sitting in on vibes!

So, yeah…
