Glitter and Groove: an Excuse to Dress Up and Get Down

MsPixy presents a once-a-month opportunity to put on a cute outfit and dance your butt off. Glitter and Groove is a two-hour dance party held in a beautiful black-box burlesque theater.

Spin and swivel under stage lights in front of a mirrored wall. Wiggle your waistline center floor with plenty of room to groove and twirl. Take a break in the bleachers and enjoy a craft cocktail (alcoholic or non) from the Newport's fully stocked cash bar.

Attendance is limited to ensure room to groove. Guests are not required to dress to the theme, but attendees are awarded for awesome apparel.

Glitter and Groove is a safe space in which common courtesy and clear consent are required.

This queer-friendly event is open to all genders and celebrates dancers of all shapes, sizes, cultures, and levels of abilty/skill.

The Newport Theater is accessible by stairs only, but a private entrance with a stair lift is avaiable upon request.

MAY 21 Cast Party!

Music Showtunes, baby! But we promise only dancable ones-- no patter songs or recitative.
Suggested Attire You've just come from The Big Show, and YOU played the lead! But of course you wouldn't wear your whole costume to the after-party. That would be so gauche. Instead, just grab a few of the best pieces and sneak out the stage door before the costume supervisor catches you. Maybe you managed to get all your makeup off-- or maybe you still want to look like a lion for a little while longer. We won't judge!
