What Is Queerchata Social?

Queerchata Social is a recurring community-focused dance event designed to make Latin dance styles more accessible to LGBTQ+ dancers of all experience levels. Running from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM, the event creates an environment where learning, dancing, and socializing happen organically.

Rather than emphasizing performance perfection, Queerchata Social focuses on comfort, consent, and connection — values that resonate deeply within queer spaces.
