make irish dance Queer

it’s a Gayli!

irish dance is for everyone.

Since 2023, we’ve partnered with queer and Irish bars in Brooklyn and around NYC to host GAYLI, a queer-friendly social dance class and ceili for dancers new and old, regardless of gender, age, or experience. GAYLI-goers get to review some of the basics of Irish dance, go over some old moves, and meet some new friends for a lesson, and dance-out and a pint.
