About this Event

About Insider Ballroom:

Insider Ballroom: A Free Introductory Lesson combines professional ballroom dancing of the “American Smooth” category with personal storytelling from the performers: queer perspectives on franchised DanceSport. Your lesson experience includes a 35 minute presentation, followed by the opportunity to join Holly & Michael on the dance floor. There's a chance you might learn a thing or two, there's a chance you might find yourself entertained. But if the artists have done the job they've been trained to do, when all is said and done, you are going to want to buy what they are selling!


About the artists:

J Michael Winward (he/they) is an interdisciplinary artist: dancer, storyteller, organizer: working at the intersection of movement, memoir, memory, and care. Michael is the director of Steps in Time®: an organization that brings social partner dance programs to assisted living & mind care communities, as well as the lead coordinator of Dancing Queerly: a platform for LGBTQ+ dance & performance artist support. Michael has a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Bennington College, and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Goddard College.

Raised in rural Vermont, Holly Stone (they/them) creates dance and theater throughout Greater Boston, and teaches at both Tufts and Boston Universities. As a performer, Holly has recently danced for Kathy Hassinger, Jo-Me Dance Theater, Lowell House Opera, Tim Glenn, and with many, many others from their time in the American Ballroom Dance Industry. Holly has a B.S. in Bioengineering and Neuroscience from Syracuse University and an MFA in Dance from Florida State University.
