Will continue monthly at Towne Crier

DJ Rhoda Averbach has launched a dance jam that will take place monthly at the Towne Crier Café starting on Thursday, May 19.

“We mainly feature derivatives of many African and Latin genres from the ’60s to present,” Averbach said. “These include R&B, soul, funk, blues, gospel, reggae and jazz, along with the gorgeous Latin sounds of salsa, cha-cha, merengue, bachata, samba, tango and others. We also add rock, disco and swing.” The dances also will feature live performances; on May 19 Efrain “La Voz” Colon will be the guest vocalist.

The dance begins at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 and singles, couples, friends and newcomers are welcome. For reservations, call 845-855-1300. For updates, visit meetup.com/Towne-Crier-Dance-Jam.
