Ballroom Dance Social for the LGBTQ+ community. Folks with diverse identities, alternative lifestyles, and allies welcome as well.
The included dance lesson is geared for beginners, and dancers of all levels are welcome. If you've always wanted to try waltz or cha cha or swing dance, this is your chance! Partners and friends are fun to bring along but not required. Lead or follow, as you choose!
The space has a beautiful wooden dance floor, so please carry in the shoes you'll be dancing in to be sure they are clean and dry.
There will be some snack foods and non-alcoholic beverages available. Doors open at 7, beginner ballroom class from 7:15 to 8:15, and open dancing from 8:15 to 10 PM. Sliding scale, $10 to $20 for the night, cash preferred.
