Come away with us.

We are planning a magical evening of dancing. Feast your eyes on fantastic, beautiful performances. Dote upon our ballroom dance couples who are eager to show you what they’ve been learning to do. Get up and dance with us between sets! Mingle with friends old and new.

A Mock Competition

Dancers are preparing to compete—some for the first time—at the Gay Games in Spain in June 2026. We want to get them in front of an audience of enthusiastic supporters, like you, for a non-competitive but structured event.

We are inviting dancers to participate: LGBTQIA+ couples and teams, same-gender couples, International Standard & Latin, American and other dance styles. Tell us what you would like to dance and we will plan to see you.

Showdance & Performance

Professional dancers, instructors and studio owners, come show us what you got! We love to be entertained and inspired between sets of watching amateur dancers (being mediocre). Obviously, someone needs to write this.

A Fundraiser

A silent auction and revenue from this event will go towards helping some of our dancers make it to the Gay Games in Spain this year. Please come just to watch and cheer, or donate something of value to our Silent Auction.

Dance with us

We plan to have beginner dance lessons at the event and plenty of opportunities to dance and get moving. Probably?

Let’s make a date

Registration will officially open on Some Future Date. The event will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at the beautiful Lake Merritt Dance at 200 Grand Avenue in Oakland, California.

We will send you an official invitation.

For now, please tell us about yourself.
