Get ready to boogie — and conga line and twirl and maybe even fall on your butt without a care in the world — when you roll onto the rink at Rainbow Skate Night.
The sober LGBTQ event at Moonlight Rollerway has been running on Wednesdays for over three decades.
It’s pure, unfiltered joy soundtracked by Cher, Whitney Houston and Broadway hits. Below, indulge in a sampling of photos that capture the palpable energy flowing through this all-ages bash.
There are plenty of smooth moves on and off the rink.
