12:00-1:30 PM Dance Curious!
Our famous “speed dating for dance” workshop.Queer and questioning where you fall on the dance spectrum? Come try 4 mini classes in a queer-friendly environment and connect with other dance-curious folks. Instructors are Maggie Cee (ballet), Lilly Rose Valore (Vogue), Gabriel Colon-Sciabarrasi (hip-hop) and Em Papineau and Sofia Engelman (modern). Comfortable clothes along with sneakers, socks, bare feet and/or soft dance shoes are recommended.
2:00-3:30 PM Floor Work with Toby MacNutt
The floor: it's more than just something to stand on! When we focus on the floor, we find an ever-present partner that allows for a wide range of supported movement. This class will cover a framework for floor-based work, including traveling, turning, dynamics, and levels, concluding with a short combination. Bring knee pads or wear thick sweatpants. All experience levels/abilities welcome.
4:00-5:30 PM Dancing and Speaking Queerly
Join all the Dancing Queerly choreographers to talk about queer dance! FREE!

“Ladies At A Gay Girls’ Bar, 1938-1969” full length Premieres July 28 at the Providence Fringe Festival! It’s been over 4 years in the making, and you’ve seen bits and pieces at The Femme Show, We Create, and Dancing Queerly. This piece is my personal investigation of femme history after living, touring, and creating with the Femme Show for 12 years. The more anti-femme-misogyny changes, the more it stays the same. So I went back to the history of lesbian communities during and after WWII to connect with our femme forebears, to understand how their contributions were sidelined, and to celebrate femme, butch, and queer courage. Stay tuned at www.inthestreetsproductions.com or via this little newsletter.
