This Summer, we’re bringing Queer Joy to the studio with a special Pride dance workshop for the Queers by the Queers! And anyone who wants to celebrate in an uplifting, inclusive environment. Created by Queer artists, this class is all about confidence, creativity and community connection. This is a judgement-free space where you are encouraged to show up exactly as you are, embrace your individuality and experience the joy of dancing in a supportive environment.
Expect a fun, high-energy class packed with commercial choreography and inspired by styles including Vogue, House, Street, Waacking, Burlesque and more. The session is beginner-friendly while still offering plenty for experienced dancers to enjoy.
Our goal is simple: to create a space where everyone feels safe, seen and free to express themselves beyond traditional gender and sexuality norms.
Come dance, connect, celebrate and move with pride. Bring a friend, a colleague, a special someone or someone you are figuring out the label question with (What are we ehm ehm)!
Dress however makes you feel your most authentic self, bring your best energy, and join us for a celebration of Pride, freedom and Queer Joy!
Gender-neutral facilities will be available.
