Facilitator Bio:
Unlike traditional dance studios which promote outdated gender stereotypes, Queerchata is the dance community for queer people who seek a safe space to express their true selves, find community, and experience a fun, new way of dancing. Dance is the perfect medium for exploring and playing with gender identities and roles, and Queerchata is the ideal environment to do so without judgment. We are here to support you, no matter where you are in your journey, dancing or otherwise.
Accessibility note:
The space is located on the 2nd floor with one flight of stairs directly up from the entrance.
