Will Library reopens at 9am on Tuesday, April 21

Will Library closed due to an issue with defective electrical equipment. That equipment has since been replaced, passed City of Yonkers electrical inspection, and power has been restored by Con Edison. 

YPL thanks the Mayor's Office, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Buildings and Yonkers Fire Department for their help in resolving this issue. We also thank our patrons for their patience and understanding.

Event Details

Take a nostalgic walk through a time when dancing with a partner was a romantic and entertaining dance form.

Famous dance teams performed in night clubs, films, and opened nationwide dance schools, bringing the art and enjoyment of couple dancing to everyone. The presentation discusses the history and behind the scenes stories of such teams as Vernon & Irene Castle, Fred & Adele Astaire, Veloz & Yolanda, Marge & Gower Champion, and Arthur & Kathryn Murray. 

Wonderful clips of these couples performing included as well as amusing stories of when performances didn’t always go as planned.

Presented by Yvonne Marceau
