Partner dance events for the LGBTQI+ community since 2017.

Pride Events 2025

Historically, we’ve held one Pride event per year, but this year we have 3 pride events!

  1. Kosmos Pride Night with west coast swing lessons and guest DJ on Memorial Day (May 26)! A less capitalistic version of World Pride.
  2. Dyke City Pride with blues and west coast swing lessons. (June 2) Event is open to all, despite how some in the LGBTQ+ community might interpret the name.
  3. Dance Against DOGE: Pride Edition in Georgetown on Saturday, June 7 before the Capital Pride parade!

First Mondays: rotating dance styles (lessons) & general fusion. Third Mondays at Green Lantern: Bachata+ Nights. We are currently trying to hold at least two events per month. [Updated May 2025]

If you’re not on other social media, ask us about our WhatsApp group when you attend one of our events! We’re also now on Bluesky and Mastodon, which we are promoting in light of anti-LGBTQ+ changes at Meta.

What an empowering space! I was beginning to think I had to choose between dancing in a cis-hetero context or leaving dance. Thank you for showing that I can have both ❤
