“Bears Can Dance” Review @ DC Bear Scene

Bears Can Dance – 495 Bears new monthly “T-Dance” upstairs at the Green Lantern – is a sexually-charged, growling furfest with familiar and new faces, colorful alcohol opportunities, hot bellies on hot bears dancing to well-mixed familiar tunes in a visually stimulating environment. 495 Bears organizers installed the disco lights from their own homes onto the ceiling of the too-familiar second floor, bringing a needed new atmosphere and genuine Bear Dance Floor to Sunday afternoons. If you miss Titan Bar, or are longing for a true Bear Happy Hour in Washington, D.C. you owe it to yourself to check this out.

A New Bear Revival

Beltway Bears

495 Bears

So this will be a quick post. I am off to visit the newly formed “Beltway Bears” who are having a meeting at the DC Eagle tonight. There is also a new group, the 495 Bears. It would seem DC is having a Bear renaissance.

Stay tuned here for more DC Bear Scene news.
