Grand Taste Experience 2016
We had a blast at Taste 2016's Grand Taste Experience last week. See what all the fuss was about:
Perhaps the best part of American Dance Festival opening night is getting to see professionals freestyle to a DJ at the Parizade after-party. Last night was no exception. Keep in mind that many of these folks had just danced their tails off on stage at DPAC for an hour plus. They simply have to dance. Beautiful.
