quinoalacranes.jpg The new Latinized version of the U.S. National Anthem may be marketable and timely but can you dance to it? To steal Emma Goldman’s words, if I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution! Well if you’re going to be in Milledgeville, Georgia, you can dance instead of march on May 1st. According to a press release sent out by Chicano artist and chair of the art department of Georgia College & State University, Richard Lou(whom VL featured) there will be an In Solidarity Dance-In. Instead of marching, we will DANCE together


The dance-in will be to the tune of El Primero de Mayo, a boycott song by Los Alacranes con Quino that explains the importance of people coming together on May 1st and even offering practical advice like telling people to get all their shopping done by April 30.

There will be two dance-ins on Monday May 1st. The first will be from 12:00-1:00 PM. The second will be from 5:30-6:30 PM at the Georgia College & State University campus. But just because you’re not in Georgia doesn’t mean you can’t have your own dance protest. You can download the song El Primero de Mayo and remind people of what you move for.
