Right To Dance: 6 months of Free Professional Drop In Dance Classes

Ill Nana presents Right To Dance: 6 months of Free Professional Drop In Dance Classes (for LGBTTIQQ2S* youth, youth of colour, youth with varying body types, class backgrounds, and abilities)


➡ Q: Have you ever been remotely curious about taking a dance class?

or

➡ Q: Have you always wanted to be a dancer?


But could not/did not go and/or had to stop because:

a) Dance classes are too expensive $$$
b) You felt like you would not or did not fit in
c) Felt like you are not a dancer because you don't look like one or are not a “natural” mover?
d) You experienced discrimination because of your body type, gender identity, race, culture, sexual orientation, class, or ability
e) All of the above

★ We have definitely felt a lot of the above!
Some people think that only certain people can dance or be dancers. ☄ That is a lie!!! Dance is knowledge and it is meant to be shared and enjoyed by all!!! We believe everyone has the Right To Dance!☺♥☺♥
