Last weekend, as I was heading back towards the T after my afternoon at the
Ahts Festival I came across a group of street performers. Down at Quincy Market there are tons of performers; from dancers to dare devils, and musicians.
This group was amazing, it was a group of five men and they mixed humor with insane dance moves, they were just amazing!
They really had the crowd going. They kept making jokes at themselves and the crowd. They wouldn't begin performing until they had everyone gathered around their "stage"- they were shouting, "there is nothing to worry about, we're just Black guys dancing!" And dance they did!
Dance, flip, spin, pop, lock, the whole nine yards.
They were just amazing, the crowd grew and grew as they performed. I find these type of dance skills amazing. Plenty of gymnasts can perform like this on mats, but on a sidewalk, kuddos!
Towards the end, they called up some innocent audience members. They had them line up, bend over, and a guy went and flipped over them! Insane! I would have freaked out, but this guy just went flying over them!
It was a great way to end a nice Sunday afternoon out and about in Boston. One of the reasons I love this city, you never know what you'll find!

That is so fantastic - oh I wish I had skills like that! :-) Must feel so cool to be in such control of your own body! :-)
Wow! That's incredible! I love the photos where they're not even on the ground!
That is seriously AMAZING. Oh my good heavens. Crazy! So cool. Whenever I see street performers in Philly (which is rare) I pull over to watch. I think they are artist. All artists need an audience! LOVE this post Tamar.
