<br /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Begun in 2013 as a much needed, community wide spirit lifter following Hurricane Sandy, the Red Hook Prom has brought together more community members, fly moves, sassy outfits and love than any other Cora event over the past five years. 2017 is RHP's 5th Anniversary and this dance party, and silent auction for grown-ups, supports the pay-what-you-can dance programs of Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance.</span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The evening is sponsored by and features a beauty station by Elements Hair Studio, performances by Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance students and professional dancers, a silent auction, and a photo booth by MVS Studios. Libations and snacks are provided by local Red Hook favorites - spiked punch and wine from dry dock and beer from Sixpoint Brewery.<br /><br />Cora Dance is a small non-profit dance company and school that has been located in Red Hook for eight years. All of the dance programs and performances we offer are pay-what-you-can, providing all residents of the Red Hook community with access to dance experiences. Our mission: Through its company, studio and school, Cora creates exceptional dance experiences while addressing the impediments that restrict individuals from accessing the art form. Cora fosters common ground among diverse people, allowing all involved — artists, students, audiences and community members — to connect more deeply with one another through the arts.

Yesterday, the de Blasio Administration and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) announced that one of the 21 Citywide Ferry Service's stops will be located at Atlantic Basin. The Red Hook Ferry Landing will be on one of five routes, the South Brooklyn route, that are due to start launching next summer, with all routes expected to be fully operational by Summer 2018. <br />
<br />
Fares will be equal to the price of one subway ride, $2.75, with free transfers to any other ferry route within the system. The Mayor's office estimates the ferry service will generate at least 155 new jobs in the New York Harbor.<br />
