Randall’s Island Park is wrapping up its summer Dance in the Park series with a free soca class you can just show up to: Saturday, August 29, from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m. at the East River Picnic Area, led by instructors from Sweet Water Dance & Yoga and hosted by the Randall’s Island Park Alliance. It’s a high-energy, cardio-focused session — think dynamic choreography to soca rhythms, outdoors, open to every level — and the organizers’ advice is to come early for the free 10 a.m. yoga class beforehand to warm up. There’s also a repeat session the Saturday before (August 22, same time and place) if you can’t make the 29th. Cost is zero and registration is not required: just turn up at the picnic area. The class sits within the park’s broader 2026 Dance in the Park series, so if you like it, the full lineup is listed at randallsisland.org. Accessibility questions or accommodation requests go to publicprograms@randallsisland.org or 212-860-1899.
