NY Night Train LAND OF 1000 DANCES w/DJ Jonathan Toubin, daners, & visuals July 14, 2011

New York Night Train's latest and most ambitious event yet! LAND OF 1000 DANCES! The dance party that's also a dance class! Soul Clap and Dance-Off DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN (http://newyorknighttrain.com/soulclap/jtbio.html) throws down the finest dance craze songs, from early-1960s TWISTers to late 1960s FUNKY CHICKENS (and everything in between!). PONY like Bonie Maronie! HITCH HIKE across the floor, pass the BUG, and kill that ROACH!

While the flow of the records is uninterrupted and the floor is in constant motion as at any good dance party, GEORGIA WALKER, SARAH KING, and special guest dance demonstrators JAMES CHANCE (The Contortions, James White and the Blacks), ANNA COPA CABANA (!!!), and more show you how its done in conjunction with B.A. MIALE's (BAMiAM.tv) famous moving visuals - which are cut not only to tell you the name of the steps but back and forth between new, old, and live footage.

Now lemme hear you say: "Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na!"

"Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a "professional DJ" without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand... His parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit." - Mike de Leon (Vice)

"New York Night Train's Jonathan Toubin throws the raddest underground rock parties in New York" - Alexander Thompson (Paper Magazine)
