Organizer:

Washington DC LGBT Ballroom, Latin, Swing & more DanceMeetup

Meet with other members and supporters of the local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender dance Community, whether for social dancing or future competition during the upcoming World OutGames Copenhagen, 2009 or Gay Games Cologne, 20010. The time is long over due for those of us in America to develop our talents as same-gender couples "Out On The Dance Floor" as they have done in the LGBT community of Europe. An activity which could become one of the most effective forms of grass roots gay activism available to us today. Once we become comfortable with our dancing skills, we will find ourselves easily taking those skills out into society without any reservations of dancing as same-gender couples in public.
Start preparing today for the upcoming local annual dance events such as The Gay Men's Chorus Spring Fling, The annual PFLAG Gala and the Mautner Project Gala in February. Not to mention the many non-LGBT dance events such as weddings and black-tie affairs that we attend and stand around watching instead of taking our Ballroom, Latin, C/W, Argentine Tango, Hustle & more talents out into the public.
Training is available every Sat morning and all day Sun in all dance styles.

    "My girlfriend loves to dance!!! And she blows me away with her moves. We both tried "learning" to dance at Chevy Chase Ballroom, but alas, this girl can't keep a beat... So, I would definitely be interested in finding her a real dance partner... :) "

    "Hi -- so great to see this group. I love dancing -- used to be a semi-pro ballet dancer -- and miss it. But straight partner dancing doesn't interest me (shocking though that is! ;-) ), so this is awesome! I look forward to meeting you all!"

    "I'm often considered by some to be a dance fanatic (others claim it's an obsessive/compulsive disorder). I've danced & taught every style of social dance known to man since my first Ballroom class as an undergrad in '69."
