Holiday Shopping at Shecky's Holiday Night Out in New York City

If you're in New York City this week, you're invited to spend a fun evening out with your girlfriends at Shecky's Holiday Night Out. The event runs through Dec. 10 at the Altman Building (135 W. 18th Street) and with the price of admission shoppers get a goodie bag stocked with beauty products, photos with Santa, free nail polish changes, quick hair styling with Miss Jessie's products and complimentary drinks.  You can also drop off new and unwrapped gifts for the Marine Corp's Toys for Tots Foundation drive.

Everything She Wants scoped out the event and found great deals at the Body Shop's table with gift sets as low as 2 for $12 and fragrances for $10.  I also found opportunities to shop with chic vendors, including VibeJewels and Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry.  Although there aren't as many vendors as you'll find at a Shecky's Girls Night Out event, Shecky's Holiday Night Out is still a good time to shop, drink and be merry.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing.  As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
