On Wednesday, May 12, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings brought their seriously dance-inducing soul party to a sold out Orange Peel. This video offers a snapshot of the brave ladies in the crowd who Jones recruited on stage to show off their best moves. Also, check out the photo gallery by Rich Orris.
Unfortunately, Jones isn’t back in town tonight, but there’s still plenty of opportunities to get your groove on. The FANATICON after-party will be going strong at the Grove House, and The Admiral will be throwing its weekly Saturday night R&B party.

I wish we new they were in town. One of the best soul groups in the world.
