Queer Square Dance + Potluck

7-11 p.m. Potluck + Square Dance with Gretchen calling, Lindsay McCaw on fiddle, Alex Belhaj on guitar, Rachel Pearson on bass, and special mystery guests sitting in.
Costumes are encouraged to celebrate the Halloween season. (Like y’all need an excuse to dress up. Everyone always looks fabulous at the Detroit Queer Square Dance + Potluck!)
Bring: Potluck foods with serving utensils, bring a bunch of friends and wear comfy shoes for dancing! Dancing is optional, too — it’s 100% ok to hang out, eat, drink, enjoy the scene and socialize without dancing.
Parking: There are two free parking lots behind the space plus street parking and the insurance agency lot across the street, all free
$20 suggested donation. If you don’t have $20 we still want you to come in and join the party! If you can pay more than $20 please do, it helps a lot. Pay whatever you can.
Cash bar with beer, wine, nonalcoholic drinks including fresh squeezed juice. Please no outside drinks.
Covid Precautions: We will have CR boxes set up for super filtered air quality and we are not requiring masking for this event, although we encourage you to wear whatever you feel most comfortable wearing. Please do not attend if you’re feeling the slightest bit unwell.
Accessibility: Vámonos is wheelchair accessible
Restrooms: There are two unisex restrooms available and the doors are 35.5” wide.
As always:
– All ages welcome
– No one turned away for lack of funds
– No experience necessary, all dances will be taught
– No partner needed, no fancy outfits needed (though you’re welcome to dress up however you like)
“Why a queer square dance and not just a square dance?” We use gender inclusive language and we don’t enforce any dress codes or other gender norms. We promote a culture of acceptance and discourage homophobia at our events. Everyone is welcome to attend, except for bigots and haters!
Please note: We are creating a queer space where we can come together and celebrate each other’s unique experiences in community. Bring your open and welcoming hearts and keep respect and kindness in mind as you may see people expressing themselves freely!
