GoNOLA Flickr Pick of the Week: French Quarter Street Swing

In New Orleans, people swing dance constantly, everywhere – even in the streets. If there’s music playing, there is guaranteed to be dancing, and if it’s in the street, then so be it. New Orleans music is the perfect soundtrack for swing dancing – that French gypsy or old school rag time style jazz literally summons people to the floor, or in this case, the pavement. So next time you’re in New Orleans, stop by the jazz clubs on Frenchmen to swing dance or just go dancing in the streets!
