Watch them whip. Gen Z is leading a line dance revival in Boston.

In the back of The Harp, a sports bar across the street from North Station, a blonde woman in denim shorts and cowboy boots grabbed her friend’s arm. “This is it!,” she exclaimed, pulling her companion onto the dance floor. It was a Thursday at 10:30 p.m., and “Burn It Down” by Nickleback had just come on at full volume.

 

Under colorful flashing lights, about 30 young Bostonians stomped their boots in unison and did a high kick with a little clap. Some people sang along; one dancer with a long dark-brown ponytail, wearing a white miniskirt and sneakers, called out the steps for a couple of beginners stumbling along in front of her.

 

The soccer fans at the front of the bar watched the World Cup with a mass of Gen Z line dancers bobbing in the background.

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

Plans to expand South Boston convention center underway with approval for land purchase funds

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority is reviving efforts to expand the Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in South Boston, while broadening its business model to plan its own meetings aimed at Boston’s fast-growing industries.

 

On Thursday, interim executive director John Barros took an important step toward expanding the 22-year-old convention center by securing board approval to use $55 million to relocate an adjacent state highway facility, as well as other land acquisition needs.

 

Barros does not yet have formal plans or cost estimates for the addition. He plans to hold business and community meetings, working with outside consultancy Deloitte, to come up with a proposal by the end of the year. The quasi-public authority would then, in early 2027, file a bill to secure the Legislature’s approval to issue bonds that would pay for the expansion.
