Our Story
Alliance Dance Academy was developed by a community of LGBTQIA2S+ Members with a passion to dance and express joy! The Academy is now on its first Official season as a latin dance organization that provides group lessons to the Queer Community.
Though this may be the Academy first season some of its members have been dancing together for over a year now, and the development of the Alliance Dance Academy will be reaching its One year anniversary on April 20th.
We are here to push against Binary Norms in Social Dancing while embodying joy & building true long lasting community.
