Sarasota locals danced up a storm during the latest Fresh Fridays block party Jan. 7.

The monthly party had a "Dance Under The Stars" theme where dance instructor Maksym Lototskyy of Dynasty Dance Clubs led the crowd in a series of dance moves and configuration throughout the night. 

The audience started out with ballroom dancing followed by some country western moves and concluded the night with a disco dance-off.
