We posted this on IG but check out a snippet from a partner lesson.

We have lessons for all newbies, but participation in dance is not mandatory if you’re more of a people watcher / mingler. Really, we are just trying to build a new community focused on dance that supports the lgbtqia+ folks in and around Long Beach, CA.

Organizing a queer country night has helped me find my people. I still love all my friends that I grew up with who I’ve maintained relationships with, but it’s nice to feel like a part of a group again. That’s all

I also am true to my nerd roots and continue playing clarinet with a local community orchestra: www.instagram.com/llsorchestra

I split my time between working for my family’s nonprofit, where we help individuals with disabilities become independent, fight food insecurity and help youth through workforce development www.instagram.com/desi.socal
