Bring your friends to experience this uniquely queer, inclusive dance. And be sure to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!
Lesson at 6:30. Dance goes from 7:00 to 9:30.
Beginners welcome and encouraged to come for the pre-dance lesson.
Admission by suggested donation of $10, paid at the door. (Cash preferred, but we also have a Venmo option)
No one turned away for lack of funds.
Add a wooden hand fan for $1!
In order to make sure our space is welcoming and accessible to as much of the community as possible, we require all dancers to wear masks. Musicians, the caller, and sound technicians may be unmasked in the hall. We’ll have plenty available to hand out if you don’t have one. We are no longer requiring proof of vaccination, but we expect those who can be vaccinated have done so.
This is a space for everyone to feel welcome and loved. We oppose racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other form of discrimination. If someone is violating your boundaries or harassing you, please speak to an organizer. If you feel something, say something, and we will take action to address it.
The dance hall is on the second floor, up ~1.5 flights of stairs. There is now an elevator to this part of the facility! The dance hall has plenty of seats and has gender-inclusive restrooms. Please reach out if we can help with accessibility needs.
