RECLAIM: Dance. Connect. Belong
Get ready to move. This is your space—our space. We, who are bipoc, queer, or both*, gather together to dance, sweat-soaked, luxuriating in unapologetic vibes. In community, we reclaim our joy, strength, and vitality through the power of collective movement and heartfelt connections.
RECLAIM is where we commune, celebrating our bodies, stories, sorrows, and delights. So bring your full self. Serve looks, serve vibes, and let's create something powerful together. From the dance floor to workshops and discussions, RECLAIM is about connecting deeper and celebrating ourselves and each other loudly.
RECLAIM is a daytime dance party that is for us and by us. Join us! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reclaim-daytime-dance-party-for-both-bipoc-and-queer-folks-tickets-1014062416987?aff=oddtdtcreator

Our Vision
RECLAIM visions a world where BIPOC and Queer people are moving towards liberation together. We center the Black, the Brown, and Queer because now, more than ever, we need fresh visions to create a thriving world for all—regardless of who we love, how we identify, or the melanin in our skin.
Our mission is to unite BIPOC and Queer dancers through communal movement, self-expression, and meaningful exchange. By dancing together, we empower ourselves to build deeper connections, find courage, and co-create a more just and compassionate world.
RECLAIM stands in solidarity with Black, Brown, Queer, Indigenous, Palestinian, Congolese, Sudanese and all people resisting oppressive systems.
*Identity
RECLAIM is about creating a vibrant space where bipoc and queer folks can come together, connect, and vibe as one community. Our goal? To build bridges and unite, so we can dance our way into the future we’ve been dreaming of.
We’re calling all BIPOC folks—whether you’re Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color—to join us on the dance floor. And we’re calling all QUEER folks—gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, questioning, gender-nonconforming, or however you proudly define your queerness.
To be clear: if you’re white and queer, come on down! If you’re brown and straight, we want you too! The only thing we ask is that you bring your best self and be ready to groove.
