Slopers concluded their Fourth of July shenanigans and hit the streets this past Tuesday for the start of the Dancing Under the Stars series, Park Slope's weekly summer event featuring two consecutive nights of live music. Yesterday's Dancing Under the Stars was the first of the series dedicated exclusively to youngsters, and featured local children's music group Rolie Polie Guacamole.
