DANCING QWEENS is a new work by choreographer and drag artist James Welsby (Valerie Hex) exploring 50 years of queer dance history channeled into a highly interactive and surreal experience of queer bodies in motion. 'Same-sex ballroom', 'waacking,' 'voguing,' and 'heels' are styles that have informed this kaleidoscopic take on history that ultimately inquires into the future of queer dance. To accompany the season of DANCING QWEENS, James Welsby and Dancehouse have curated a public program of workshops, conversations and queer dance classes open to everyone. VIEW THE PUBLIC PROGRAM
