Hello lovelies,
Pride was incredible...but we're not done partying and dancing yet. Four entirely different dance parties coming your way in the next month or so.
- Sun 7.9 - Dance Hall of Languid Delight - this one is for those who remember...many years back, there was a magical all-vinyl old-timey slow dance party, with actual dance cards, partnered dances, and dance matrons matching up pairs. Everyone wore their Sunday best and had the most wholesomely fun time. We have partnered with the founder of the original event and are bringing it back for a very rare once-a-decade appearance.
- Sat 7.15 - Fierce! - a redo of our Renegade Pride dance party blowout, with queer DJs spinning happy beats, and our loft transformed into a full-on nightclub. Open to all!
- Thur 7.20 - Save the date! Fusion dance party, all info TK.
- Fri 8.18 - Our Dark Dance party is coming back, with some very special goth guest DJs. Tickets are already available, if you want to snag those lower cost tiers. More info TK next week.
Cheers,
Gemini & Scorpio,
makers of themed costume events with live entertainment

Inspired by the dance halls of the early twentieth century and slow dancing from junior high school, The Dance Hall is an evening filled with tantalizing restraint.
Participants are given dance cards to arrange partnered prances for the night, and a slow dance lesson begins the evening. Wallflowers beware: you will be matched up by our roving matrons (note: gender is irrelevant for partner dancing). The esteemed DJ James Mulry delivers three sets of songs exclusively via vinyl record: all slow dances, all night. Hosted by the illustrious Kate Brehm.
Dress as your most magnificent self.
Arrive on time to start filling your dance card. Dance lesson and evening instructions at 7:30pm. Dance card music sets begin at 7:45pm & end at 10:30pm; intermission between sets; free dance after.
*All tickets offer the same access to the event. Please buy at the highest price you can, to support artists, production and affordable tickets for everyone. For every patron ticket ($40) we add a low income ticket ($15).

Calling all poly, swinger, kink, LGBTQIA+ and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies for a social & dance blowout in our new nightlife lair. We got lights & smoke & lasers, booming bass, spinning disco ball, swirling visuals, lots of dance floor, killer AC. Lots of quieter space for socializing, with couches in the lounge and bar.
Queer DJs lay down beats, while flow & go go performers keep up the vibes (bring that folding money!). Headlining: DJ Illexxandra, with an eclectic mix of happy hits & house beats.
Trying something new! We've been getting inquiries about new people checking out HoS events just after the monthly mixer has passed. We're going to test Fierce! as a possible second monthly mixer where friends and future members are both invited. So this one is open to current members, prospective members and non-members alike.
Dress code: your queerest self! Sparkly unicorns, leather daddies, LED aliens, fancy fairies, punk dykes, glitter glamour queens, sequin divas, kinky party monsters, dandy butches, neon rainbow bears. This party is inclusive of all genders & expressions -- except casual wear. Dress to dance!
HoS rules: Dress code required; HoS membership, PAL or prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.
COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.
