Spirited movers and shakers from the Brooklyn Dance Center pirouetted to some classy tunes for their annual Earth Dance event near the Marine Park Nature Center on April 21, in celebration of — you guessed it — Earth Day!

“It was a really beautiful day and we had a good audience of about 100 people,” said Brooklyn Dance Center director Gail Kroog. “Our trained dancers performed elemental pieces, expressing different feelings, like the air, or the colors of Spring.”

Among the afternoon’s gyrations, there included the belly dance, “Spring Goddess Awakening,” performed by the appropriately dubbed Belly Mystics, Benjamin Briones’s “All that Remains,” performed by Sarah Rodok, and “Astral,” an elegant dance performed and choreographed by Kroog, herself.

The event was capped off by storyteller Roman “Redhawk” Perez, who blessed the crowd with drums and conch shells, so they could leave the park in good spirits.
