Mambo and Hustle at Tavern on the Green

Review and Photos by Robert Abrams
June 15, 2003

It is nearly midnight and the dance floor is still going strong here at Tavern on the Green. What with the lively dancing last night, Tavern on the Green is 4 for 4 on the nights I have been here. Tonight was a mambo and hustle night, and true to the name, long sets of mambo were intermixed with long sets of hustle. The evening attracted expert hustle dancers such as Lori Brizzi, mu suave mambo dancers and several parties who looked like they had just come from a graduation celebration. Two of these girls, dressed in very elegant outfits, were clearly natural dancers, showing off an abundance of style. All in all, this was another night of exceptional energy per square foot of dance floor at Tavern on the Green.
