Dancing at the Ball Park

Yes, I said "dancing."  That's not something one tends to think of at a Baseball game, except probably between innings when suddenly they play "YMCA" but lately at the Long Island Ducks baseball games at Citibank Park in Central Islip, Long Island they have been showcasing student dancers around 30 minutes before game time.  (Gates normally open one hour before game time.)

Yesterday, the Long Island Ducks hosted the Kings Park Dance Center, who presented two groups of different ages to each perform a dance number.  Even though most of the crowds had not yet entered the park (and it was actually a mediocre turnout with a generally constant mist falling on the field) they were given a resounding round of applause.

Later on in the game, as a part of the normal between innings activities, two of the girls from the dance center competed head on in the dance contest trying to dance for the brief period of time allotted to the upbeat modern song they were given.

P.S. I already uploaded the video, you can watch them here.  (Why did you think I didn't take a dozen photos of them dancing?  Because I was recording it on video!)
