First step: Read the Next Class page on queerobics.com for the date and park, then email queerobics@gmail.com to ask how to sign up before you come..

What to expect

The class is an accessibility-centered dance and movement class held outdoors in parks or on courts. Dance captains show moves live beside the lead instructor and offer low-impact and seated options. Masks are required, and the suggested donation is $10 to $15, with no one turned away for lack of funds.

Tips for your first visit

  • Bring a mask if you can, because the group has only a limited supply.
  • Wear comfortable athletic clothes, like the instructors in the group's flyers.
