The Queer
Dancehall
Dance artist duo Amber and Owen are looking for queer couples to take part in a series of FREE sequence dance (ballroom) workshops.
This new commission for Leap 2026 project is centred around building skills, confidence, and community while learning and developing a choreographed Ballroom and Latin sequence dance piece. There is an option to perform as part of the Leap 2026 programme, but no pressure or commitment to perform.
You do not need to be a dancer to take part. This is for ALL levels.
Rowena Gander's
Red Flag

Rowena is holding a community conversation on Friday 27th March, 2pm at 24 Hope Street, and invites you to share stories and experiences to help inform the final piece.
