New York’s first family earned roars of applause when they performed their signature jump-up “Smackdown” dance at the West Indian Day Parade on Monday.
“This parade started small, became big and is one of the great events in our city,” Mayor de Blasio told reporters before marching the 2-mile route along Eastern Parkway with wife Chirlane McCray and their kids, Dante and Chiara. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton joined in as well.
A million sweaty revelers poured onto Brooklyn’s streets to drink in the annual sight of buxom dancers in skimpy costumes.
Morgan Freeman, 24, of Trinidad, danced in a flashy teeny gold bikini with rhinestones on the “Taste of Confession” float.
“Today is all about unity and coming together,” Freeman said.
