July Outdoor Queer Dance Workshop with Samara Metzler

Queer Dance Workshops are a chance for queer folks of all identities and experiences to connect through dance. Featuring a rotating roster of teachers and dance styles, these workshops are a time to simply dance around joyfully with other queer people. These special workshops will be held outside near Egleston Square in Jamaica Plain.

Our July workshop will feature bellydance with Samara Metzler and Irish dance with Jo Troll
Samara (she/her) is a Salem MA-based performance artist, teacher, event producer and glorious weirdo best known for organising the Geeky Bellydance Show at Arisia in Boston each January. She has combined her dance, theatre and performance art training into her own unique style of snaky, statuesque, pop-and-lock fusion bellydance.

Jo is the disabled queer art-maker, teacher, and creative life coach who organizes these workshops! They teach Irish dance with a particular focus on using tradition as a means to build connection and community.

Exact location details will be sent to registrants. Some parking is available. It is about a 10 minute walk from Stony Brook on the Orange Line and near bus stops for busses 42, 22, 44, and 29.

There is a question about access needs in registration. In particular, if you need ASL interpretation please note it in your rsvp or email me at [email protected] as it is often easier to get interpretation with a confirmed need. Unfortunately, I will need at least a week's notice to ensure interpretation.

Workshops are free, but please consider donating (no more than $20) to help pay our wonderful teachers.
