Event Description:

 

On Saturday, June 2, 2012, Spoke the Hub Dancing presents the 19th annual "Local Produce in the Gardens", a day-long celebration of the performing arts held in Park Slope's community gardens, the Berkeley- Carroll Performance Space, and the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, this year's Local Produce co-sponsor.

 

Local Produce's "garden tour" features Brooklyn-grown music, theater and dance performances in three community gardens – Warren / St. Marks Garden at 11:00am, the Garden of Union at 12:30pm and at Greenspace @ President Street at 2:00pm – followed by a young artists' indoor showcase at the Berkeley Carroll Performance Space at 4:00pm and an adult professional showcase at 5:00pm.

"Local Produce" rolls into the evening with a Swing Dance Party at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music featuring the live music of Art Lillard's Heavenly Big Band. No worries if you're a beginner: Laurie Shayler, one of Brooklyn's finest ballroom dance instructors, will teach the basics at 7:30pm so everyone can swing on through the night!

 

And it's all as free as the breeze!
