What is Queer Ballroom?


There are no fixed roles from the begin­ning:
You will learn how to lead and to follow, but also how to switch roles swif­tly in the mid­dle of a dance!

And there's also always a lot of precious technical input.

Why "Queer Ballroom"?


Queer Dance is a safe space for all people who wish to learn couple dancing in a gender-free context.

And for everybody, it is a new conception of couple dancing and a fun experience!
