🌈 WE'RE DANCING AT A NEW VENUE!
We're so excited to be at the brand-new Pride Center, right in the heart of Gainesville. Thank you the Pride Community Center of North Central Florida for hosting us!

While this change in venue will undoubtedly bring a Q***r-forward energy to our events, this dance is still for everybody! Come one, come All Y'all!

🍻 Let's do it Again: All Y'all Afters!
What's a dance community without the chance to really get to know one another? Last time we danced, a big group of us met up for Afters at Cypress & Grove to socialize and get to know one another, and it was wonderful. The brewery is a 15-minute walk away from the dance hall, and in addition to serving b**r and w**e, you can count on C&G to offer excellent non-alcoholic options, like kombucha on tap and house-made sodas.
Still Looking for the Deets?? 👀
