Barnes Dance Barn Dance!
05.14.10
The Mission: A barn dance taking place in the newly-opened “Barnes Dance”, which is a pedestrian crossing whereby people may cross through the entire intersection all at once, with cars totally stopped. Chinatown has some of the busiest intersections in DC, with tourists, businesspeople and the weekend crowd all converging on a Friday evening as we danced through.
Despite some heavy summer showers before and after the hoe-down, our group assembled, dressed in straw hats, plaid and their best shit-kickers. The crossing guards assigned to the intersection laughed as the group first entered the “barnes dance,” and onlookers stopped to snap a quick picture.
We did a few different turns through the intersection and even had a few people join in. Add photos to our flickr pool if you got some good shots! Go to Flickr
