Insider Ballroom: A Free Introductory Lesson
2023/24 DIY Performance Series

About Insider Ballroom:
Insider Ballroom: A Free Introductory Lesson combines professional ballroom dancing of the “American Smooth” category with personal storytelling from the performers: queer perspectives on franchised DanceSport. Your lesson experience includes a 35 minute presentation, followed by the opportunity to join Holly & Michael on the dance floor. There’s a chance you might learn a thing or two, there’s a chance you might find yourself entertained. But if the artists have done the job they’ve been trained to do, when all is said and done, you are going to want to buy what they are selling!
