Every two weeks the group meets up at a different location in the city. Dance Walk! Austin's first meet up had dance-walkers busting moves down South Congress Avenue, and two weeks later the group hit up the streets of downtown. I made it to the downtown get-down and had a blast. The great thing about Dance Walk is everyone who shows up is stoked to dance like a fool and have a good time doing it.
Dance-walkers, from a range of ages, walked for about an hour and got a ton of encouragement from cars driving by. We even wrangled a couple of people to dance with us. Sadly the speaker gave out on us, but that didn't stop the dance party. Our little crowd continued to dance and sang songs aloud. At one point we were dancing along with the music from the Pubcrawlers found in downtown.
Word has it that a new speaker will be joining the group at its next meet-up. The upcoming dance-walk will be over the South Congress Bridge while the bats fly out for the night. Batty-apparel is encouraged, which I am more than sure dance-walkers will be dressed in their best and most eye-catching dance-walking wear. Dance-walk is not only a great way to get your workout on, but it's an even better way to dance the streets of the city with some pretty fun peeps without feeling like a complete weirdo. Dance Walk! Goes Batty on the Bridge
