This event is all about embracing queer joy, inclusive movement, and the power of community.

What to Expect:

• Energetic Dance Session: No dance experience required! Just bring your authentic self and be ready to have fun.
• Inclusive Environment: A safe and welcoming space for all identities and bodies.
• Light Refreshments: Enjoy snacks as we mingle and connect.
• Attire: We encourage you to wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable! Show up in street clothes, workout attire, or something fun - just make sure you can move freely. This is not a heels class and footwear must be gym-friendly (sneakers, tennis shoes).
