We’d relaxed at the spa, ate good food, and then we proceeded to partake in the ever popular dance portion of the bachelorette party. You all know I love to dance, so I didn’t mind this part of the evening at all except for the fact that we were all yawning by the end of dinner. 
I guess this is what happens when you reach the 30+ age range? We definitely joked about the fact that we were all little shells of our former partying selves to some extent. Therefore, the car ride over to Williamsburg, Brooklyn consisted of opening windows for some fresh air to keep us awake and calling each other out for yawning.
Of course, by the time we got to Bembe in Williamsburg and the music hit us, were were okay. Bembe primarily plays a mix of Latin music (I guess we had to keep the Latin theme running) so there was steady mix of salsa, samba and merengue with some dance classics thrown in for good measure. I have not been out dancing in a LOOONNNGG time, but somehow remembered how to dance.

Me and Ike tearing it up. Go, Ike!
Being an old fogey, I proclaimed the night over at 1:30AM (we started at 3PM, so it was time to get some beauty rest).
I feel like dancing is the universal element in a bachelorette party, but maybe I’m wrong. Did anyone NOT have dancing as part of their bachelorette event or is it just such a traditional element that you couldn’t give it up?
Honestly, I’m too self-conscious (even with some booze in me!) to have much fun dancing. I hope it’s not part of my bachelorette!
sounds like you girls had a great time!!! haha, hey no shame to call the night at 1:30 
I am not a dancer. Dancing would not have been something I enjoyed, so my girls knew enough to avoid it to keep from ruining the day for me. Yep, that’s how much I am not a dancer. It would have ruined the entire day and evening.
Your party looks so fun!! I cannot even begin to imagine my bachelorette party without dancing. If it didn’t have dancing…I don’t know what I would do. I litterally think I’m a Pussycat Doll…and that’s before the drinks even start flowing!
Don’t feel bad Old fogey, I fell asleep @ 10 on bachelorette weekend :-/
i loooooooooove to dance! looks like you ladies had a good time. and, you’re not old girly! age is just a number.
One fun bachelorette party a friend of mine held for her friend did involve dancing, but not the kind that you’re talking about! The party was at my friend’s apartment, and she hired a woman to come and teach all the girls there a striptease! They all had a few drinks first, brought a few props that they were asked to bring (i.e. a button-up shirt), and then were taught a routine that they’d be able to replicate later!! Talk about the gift that keeps on giving
I definitely want to dance with my girls at my bachelorette party!
@LovestheBear: Your avatar looks like my bouquet on steroids (note: Do not use Lily of the Valley when it’s out of season!), & I call my husband “bear” (Jeremy…get it…no, well nevermind. )
Dancing is my favorite part of any celebration! There is absolutely no way I could forgo dancing at my bachelorette or wedding!
Swan, I have a feeling our reception dance photos will be very similar to each others. Breakin’. It. DOWN.
Hey there Miss Swan,
I’m a Brooklyn bride, too (I live in Cobble Hill) and tomorrow is my bachelorette party. I’ve been told it’s low-key and entirely in Brooklyn, so reading your recaps has totally gotten me excited!

Mrs. Swan, New York City Age and Occupation: 31, Legislative Representative Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Finance Guy Engagement Date: August 9, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: Battery Gardens About Me: I am an un-crafty but resourceful, Caribbean-born but New York-raised woman who's been known to analyze "Dancing with the Stars" and “So You Think You Can Dance”, buy stinky cheese, and use way too many parentheses. I keep lists for fun, am constantly daydreaming of my next international travel adventure (four continents down, three to go), debating sports (let’s Got Mets/Giants!) and dancing around my apartment to stay sane. I am excited to share our wedding planning journey as I hope to plan a streamlined, personal, and fun wedding with the greatest life partner I could ever imagine, Mr. Swan.
