Dancin‘ Dominick

People always ask me “Who is Dancing Dominick?”

I'm always more than happy to tell them:

“Hey, shut the fuck up and mind your own business!”

I originally met Dancin' Dom one night in January 2000 on an impaired CD run to Virgin Records Times Square. I came across him performing his “Rock 'n Roll Dance” at the top of an aisle to no one in particular — I thought it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen.

I immediately offered him a job. He was surprised, but he accepted the gig and started the following weekend.

Dom was a fixture and a crowd favorite at the bar until his passing in March 2002.

Dom's dancing videos and images live on at Duff's, where his custom made jacket is on display along with a memorial plaque that reads:

“A friend and official mascot of the Bellevue Bar, Dominick made many people happy with his Rock n' Roll dancing and unique satorial style. A one of a kind gentleman, Dominick will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.”

 

“THE KIDS, THEY GO KOO-KOO FOR MY ROCK 'N ROLL DANCING!”
