Our Mission:
To provide the LGBTQ+ population of Pittsburgh with educational dance programs and events that build an active, thriving, and inclusive community.
We are Pittsburgh’s country two-step, waltz, and line dance group, founded in the LGBTQ+ community. Join us every Wednesday.
FIRST WEDNESDAYS - The first Wednesday of every month is the “Welcome Week” dance. We have lots of lessons and reviews, perfect for folks who are newer to line dancing. It’s also a great night to bring a friend!
SECOND WEDNESDAYS - The second Wednesday of every month is mostly dedicated to partner dancing; primarily two-stepping and waltzing, and sometimes west coast swing to change things up a bit. The lesson of the evening is usually around 7 pm, and is related to partner dancing. But we always have some line dancing as well!
THIRD & FOURTH WEDNESDAYS - The third and fourth Wednesdays of every month usually feature more line dance reviews and lessons, but we still throw in some partner dancing for a good mix!
* FIFTH WEDNESDAYS * - If there is a fifth Wednesday in the month, it is usually a special event. Some examples include “Dolly Night,” guest DJs, or theme nights such as 80’s night.
