Is this Festival for Me? 🤔

This swing dance festival is a space for queer dancers and allies on all levels of dancing skills.

If you are a queer dancer, or a queer person wanting to learn lindy hop in a queer space, this festival is for you. If you are an ally who supports the vision of the festival, this event is also for you. 🥳

The creators of early swing music were black. The dancers of early lindy hop, the people we look at for inspiration were black. A lot of them were also gay, lesbian and/or trans people. Some of the early dance scenes in the 1930's and 40's were places that LGBTQ people could feel free to express their genuine selves without fear of being banned, mocked or incarcerated. As contemporary dancers in the lindy hop culture we should not disregard or minimize the fact that many of us do not have the same knowledge of the culture they lived in. Most dancers then were black, most dancers nowadays are white. They did not care about the norms we have today on leading and following. 

With this event we are celebrating these black and queer people who in today’s society still are underprivileged in one or more ways. If you're not of African-American or African heritage, remember who created the dance. If you are cis and hetero, and want to learn more about how to better accommodate queer dancers in your community, consider yourself welcome. 🤗 But we remind you to be respectful of the queer space we are creating together. We don't tolerate any kind of harassment, but we are also human beings like you. If you think of something that we haven't thought of, please contact us. We are open to hear from you. 👂
