Chaps and Straps is an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ people to come together and dance! Small Willy Nelson, local drag king, will guide you through a series of line dances suitable for the most novice of dancers, to your favourite queer country anthems.

Dress up if you feel like it – think cowboy hats, denim, leather – or just come as you are. Please wear what makes you feel comfortable.

This event is created by and for LGBTQIA+ people. We especially want to welcome our Trans, Intersex, and Non-Binary siblings— your presence is valued and celebrated here. Our dances are taught with options to suit different gender expressions and designed to help you to connect with your body with joy.
