‘Park on the Dance Floor’ is Shaping the Echo Park District of Los Angeles into Something Special.

Echo Park — Last weekend was more than a cruise night, more than a usual exhibition on a Saturday evening, and much more than just a party. It was a celebration of culture and people coming together on their terms, without any influential interference. 

The setting - the streets and sidewalks of Sunset Blvd. The music came both directions, north Sunset, mostly the Cumbias blaring from Género Neutral, and south, you could hear either 80s Funk and even old school Banda. In either direction I found myself bobbing my head and even busting a small OG two-step to George Clinton’s ‘Atomic Dog’ and trying to spin to Banda Zeta’s ‘La Nina Fresa’. Either way, everyone participated in some type of body movement because it was just that perfect. 

The celebration was organized by Classico Tattoo in partnership with Paisa Boys, Género Neutral, low boy, Pure Beauty, 444, Liquid Death Mountain Water, Air Nandez, and California Cowboys Collective. All involved are trend-setting, offering a new fresh way of celebrating the way we socialize.
