NEXT SESSION: October 15th 7-9pm led by @jennuine_v

QUEER JAM IS BACK in a beautiful new home 🏡

we are SO lucky that our friends at conspire (a very special queer DIY studio in bed-stuy) have opened their doors to us. they’ve built the space with somuch care (yes, even the handmade speakers) & we couldn’t think of a better spot for our monthly gatherings.

we’re excited to come together to hone our personal freestyle practices (across all styles), to (re)discover our queer dancestors, to take turns facilitating our friends’ growth, to relaunch / laugh / break bread / take a risk / fall on our asses / learn a new approach / recommit to our practices / connect with ourselves & each other.

bring a friend or two! @cleo__perez will be blessing the decks for us. eMBody will lead for September but we’re excited for a new season of facilitators.

DM us to sign up!

2026 DATES:
tuesday sept 15 7pm-9pm
thursday oct 15 7pm-9pm
thursday nov 19 7pm-9pm
thursday dec 17 7pm-9pm

Open format. Please be mindful this is a space for queer/trans folx, allies if you’re looking for spaces to dance send us a dm and we can reccomend other sessions! Or if you feel inclined to donate a session fee <3 DM any questions or concerns.

UPROOTED 2026: May 19th & 20th dancers, musicians, singers, movers (artists) from all backgrounds transformed (quite literally) the Stone Circle Theater into a vessel for explosive joy, wrenching grief, reclamation of power, discussion through form, social imagination and (quite honestly) the entire range of the human experience. A genuine moment of sparkling, heated, electric collectivism and a harmony of voices 🪽

Special thank you to the eMBody team, Maddi and Bella for having me, and thank you to everyone who came together to create such a special weekend for everyone involved.
