Queens’ Dance Fair Sways in Corona

Corona grooved last night with Queens’ Dance Fair, moving NYC’s spring at a park lot. Dancer Tariq Evans spun salsa as 400 swayed, a $10 ticket fest of steps. It’s borough rhythm—pure Queens vibe, floors hot. A kid popped a turn; a pro broke smooth. ‘Queens dances—this is it,’ Evans says, cueing horns. The stalls turned ballroom.

The fair’s fresh—April 4’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing space by 6 p.m. Evans, a Flushing stepper; last night’s crowd hit max—bass thumped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—dance ruled. #QueensDanceFair trended; Brooklyn wants a twirl.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging sound. Trash piled—swept slow; vibe held. A rival’s pitching a LIC sway, splitting moves. Still, 500 stayed—rhythm reigned. Corona’s never swayed so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s pulse—this pumps it,’ he says, packing tracks. The fair’s a Queens win—grit meets groove. It’s a dance rush; catch the next. Bring shoes— beats call.
