The Social Dance Community has a section « Queer partner dance ressources » displaying a guide to help you find partner dance organizations and events that are intentionally created as queer spaces. While there is growing acceptance of queer people in mainstream dance scenes, it can still be difficult for many to participate in heteronormative and gender-normative dance classes and socials. We decided to focus on intentional queer dance communities rather than queer-friendly ones, since the latter is easy to claim and may be hard to hold on to. Even in dance scenes that aim for openness and inclusivity, there is a lot of work left to be done.
The list is organized by location since so many of our readers dance multiple styles. We have included as many kinds of partner dancing as we could find, from Latin to swing dancing to country. The one dance style we haven’t listed here is Argentine tango. The Queer Tango Project has already done excellent work in creating a guide to queer tango scenes all over the world.
