We are excited to announce that starting this Saturday, March 22, we will be offering FREE dance classes and practice EVERY Saturday afternoon. All of our events are queer-centered.

Please note, no street shoes or stiletto heels are permitted on the dance floor. Dance shoes with flat or chunky heels are fine, and socks are a great option.

Thank you to Montgomery College's Department of Visual and Performing Arts for their space partnership.

Boston International Women's Day Dance Flash Mob 2025

"On International Women's Day, March 8, 2025, Boston ROSE as part of the One Billion Rising call to action. Performing inside the Prudential Center and outside a Tesla showroom downtown, over 200 dancers and allies showed the power of movement and joy, claiming our bodies and showing we will not be silenced."

“…we have also discussed how cis-gendered gay people can still access such straight spaces somewhat comfortably, as opposed to trans or non-binary or gender non-conforming or disabled bodies. These considerations of sensitive inclusion are strangely assumed to be on the shoulders of the queer community and not with straight spaces. I find this division of labour quite perplexing.”

queertangobook.orgTango Joy from Bengaluru, India | The Queer Tango ProjectTango essay. Vasvi Oza, artist, educator and tango dancer based in Bengaluru, India, has shared her experiences as an intermediate woman leader and open role dancer in South India with The Queer Tango Project. We love her essay.

maybe just me, but the feed seems awfully quiet on the "bandcamp(c)(tm)(r) friday" front.
which means there should be plenty of oxygen in the room for my own suggestions :P

granted, the world is burning , and simultaneously flooding, and we got measles and an all-you-can-infect flu buffet going on. but in these times, its important to remember that what we *can* still do for others matters.
supporting one another and making the days a little less painful is important. think of the last time someone made you smile or laugh in spite of the trauma that is our every day lives.
also, i think absolute good is often characterized by being two ways. when you do real good, you make someone else happier and yourself happier.
so if you like the music an artist is making, throw them a $1 or $2. their music makes you happy and your support will make their day.

so if any of you are you interested in #ambient #soundscapes with a healthy dose of #noise but often times weaving a solid #rhythmic section in and out of that fabric... i would highly recommend you check out my comrade @rybson . you can grab music and support them at their bandcamp:
xymmusic.bandcamp.com/
been studying a ton of stuff this week, and "lofi microtonal beats to avoid brain damage to" as well as the album "gomi 三" have made for an excellent study soundtrack.

if you would like something less abstract, but more #techno #industrial #ebm #dance oriented while very explicitly attacking the powers that be and being driven by the wildest (i mean, seriously, the fucking wildest) #drum #beats doused in just the right amount of #distortion you need to check out my other comrade, @controlfreak
music.control.org/
anything you can contribute to him would be greatly appreciated by me personally so that we can crowdfund the making of his next masterpiece :D

or you know support someone you care about it. even small amounts. our power lies in our numbers and the quality of our interactions. we don't need the corpos, we don't need a special day or a branded campaign brought to you by roland, or us bank.

take care of another and stay radical.
