Looking for a pole dance space that is queer-centered, anti-diet culture & aware of intersectionality? Queer Pole Play is for queer peeps who are new to pole, have a bit of pole experience, or enjoy playing with the foundations of pole. It especially welcomes those who haven’t attended a pole dance class due to financial reasons or fear of discrimination in pole dance spaces. For their workshop M defines “queer” as anyone who identifies anywhere within the LGBTQIA* spectrum. M aims to create a safeR space to engage with one's own body, be playful and express creativity outside of binary norms. After the introduction Michelle will facilitate about 75 minutes of guided learning of pole dance foundations in a playful and exploratory approach. The rest of the time is for practicing more pole, socializing, or just hanging out. All queer bodies are welcome! No prerequisites, curiosity is enough! This workshop has a low base price and offers different price tiers so you can choose the ticket that fits your situation.
