We're Back!! New Venue in SW + HowdyFest
Two Dances -- June 2 and June 22
It’s been a long time and a lot of effort but we have found a great venue that is very excited to host our queer potluck and square dance series — Vámonos Cafe in Southwest Detroit, at 4444 W. Vernor! Only thing is, for the moment we can’t do anything past 8pm, so we are doing a Sunday afternoon potluck and dance June 2, 4-8pm. Plus, we are doing Howdy Fest at the Old Miami again this year June 22!
When: SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 4-8pm
Where: Vámonos! 4444 W. Vernor, Detroit
What: Queer Square Dancing + Potluck w/Lindsay McCaw calling, Aaron Jonah Lewis on fiddle, Alex Belhaj on guitar, Rachel Pearson on bass, and special mystery guests sitting in (If you want to be a special mystery guest please respond to this email.)
Bring: Potluck foods with serving utensils, bring a bunch of friends and wear comfy shoes for dancing! (Dancing is optional, too -- it's 100% ok to hang out, eat, drink, enjoy the scene and socialize without dancing.)
Parking: There are two free parking lots behind the space plus street parking
$20 suggested donation -- If you don't have $20 we still want you to come in and join the party! If you can pay more than $20 please do, it helps a lot. Pay whatever you can.
Cash bar
As always:
- All ages welcome
- No one turned away for lack of funds
- No experience necessary, all dances will be taught
- No partner needed, no fancy outfits needed (though you're welcome to dress up however you like)
"Why a queer square dance and not just a square dance?"
We use gender inclusive language and we don't enforce any dress codes or other gender norms. We promote a culture of acceptance and discourage homophobia at our events. Everyone is welcome to attend, except for bigots and haters!
AND THEN ON JUNE 22 WE’RE HAVING A SQUARE DANCE AT HOWDY FEST!!
