Performance: DaNCEBUMS
11 am & 1 pm
DaNCEBUMS presents “moves4you2do,” in front of Spoonbridge and Cherry. Arrive ready to dance as they show off their best moves—and teach you some too!
DaNCEBUMS is a group of five (Kara Motta, Maggie Zepp, Karen McMenamy, Eben Kowler, and Margaret Johnson) making dance collaboratively and non-hierarchically in Minneapolis. Along with keyboardist/vocalist Eric Mayson and percussionist Toby Ramaswamy, they’ve been dubbed “the best dance party in town” as they knowingly move between precise technique and casual pop sensibility.
