Bollywood dance with Bollyqueer at Crossrail Place Roof Gardens at 12pm

Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly Bollywood dance workshop in an LGBTQIA+ affirming environment. In this workshop, you will learn choreography to a Bollywood song, understand the meaning of the music, and celebrate queerness through dance. All movements will be broken down, and no experience is necessary. This workshop will not have any gendered choreography unlike many other mainstream Bollywood dance spaces. Feel free to wear any clothing that you feel comfortable to dance in, e.g. loose sportswear, or anything that makes you feel fabulous!

Bollyqueer is a Bollywood dance space that celebrates and empowers the LGBTQIA+ community. It's a safer space to learn Beginners Bollywood dance, where choreography is not gendered, and you are encouraged to dance in a way that makes your heart feel it's happiest! We bend, break, and redefine the rigid and heteronormative structures that exist within Bollywood.

Through their performances and workshops, Bollyqueer not only entertains but educates, using their platform to advocate for acceptance, equality, and inclusion. Bollyqueer workshops are beginner friendly and prioritise self-expression and having fun over learning choreography. 

We also have a professional performance team, all of whom identify as Queer and/or Trans People of colour. We are the only Bollywood dance groups that do not divide performers by gender, ensuring that all dancers have the freedom to choose their costume styles and choreography in ways that honour their identities and avoid dysphoria. 

Note this is a 90 minute session
