♥♥♥ EVENTS FOR MAR 2020! ♥♥♥

MAR7

Toronto's QUEER Slowdance! - Pajama Party Edition!

RSVP HERE if you can: https://www.facebook.com/events/483059812368492/

With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to), Toronto Queer Slowdance has all slow songs, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!)

It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful, and why love is not ironic.

Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it would be AWESOME and HAWT. As this is our Pajama Party Edition, we urge you to wear something warm and fluffy, fuzzy and bathrobe-like. Alternately, wear a onesie! The main thing is to be comfortable.

Finally, you do not have to be queer to attend this party, but you must have an open mind, an open heart, and have open arms. Do keep in mind that many of our attendees fall within the LGBTTQIA+ continuum and may or may not be interested in dancing with the "opposite" sex, so if you are stridently straight, this may not be the most receptive community for you. That said, we have a wide plethora of attendees, and it is impossible to know who might show up on any given night.
