EP 35 – Curtis – Desert Valley Squares
September is here, Phoenix is finally starting to think about cooling down, the snowbirds are getting ready to make their way back, and our LGBTQ+ community calendar is about to get PACKED.
This week on the GayPHX Podcast, Bily sits down with the folks from Desert Valley Squares, Phoenix’s LGBTQ+ and all-inclusive square dance club, to find out what actually happens when you walk through those doors for the first time.
And forget whatever picture just popped into your head when we said “square dancing.”
We’re talking about friendship, laughter, movement, learning something completely new, and finding another place in the Valley where you can show up as yourself. We hear from the people who make Desert Valley Squares what it is, what keeps them coming back, and why someone who has never square danced before might want to give it a shot.
Desert Valley Squares has been dancing in Phoenix for more than four decades, and their next round of new-dancer classes begins September 13, with September 20 as your final opportunity to jump into this round.
No partner required. No experience required. Just bring yourself and be willing to try something new.
🔥 And, of course, Brian, our Desert Den Daddy, has your Hot 3, with three things happening around the Valley that should be on your radar.
🐻 PLUS: Bear Union is celebrating its ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! GayPHX is giving away two tickets to the celebration, but you need to move quickly. The drawing happens September 5, so get those entries in ASAP!
The pups from Amory Pack are back to open and close the show, and if you make it all the way to the end, they’ve even got a little treat waiting for you. 🐶
September is kicking off a busy season in Phoenix, so keep checking GayPHX.com for events, community happenings, interviews and more — and visit AmoryPack.com to keep up with the pups.
