Kick off Pride Weekend with an electrifying evening of movement, music, and community at Ailey Extension's Pride Dance Party led by Matthew Johnson Harris!
Presented in collaboration with Athlete Ally, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and advancing inclusion in sports, this high-energy dance cardio experience celebrates the athleticism of dancers and the spirit of Pride. Featuring a playlist packed with iconic LGBTQIA+ artists and Pride anthems, this class promises an uplifting, joyful atmosphere for all. No dance experience is necessary—just come ready to move, sweat, and celebrate.
Athlete Ally believes sport will change the world when it welcomes and empowers all people. Each day, Athlete Ally endeavors to achieve their mission: to help every athlete act as an ally and ensure every LGBTQIA+ person is welcome and safe in sports. Athlete Ally wants every athlete to be able to access, enjoy, and excel in sports without feeling the need to cover, conceal, or erase any aspect of who they are. Their core strategy and approach for preventing harm is allyship. Athlete Ally works to build a world where athletes stand in solidarity with one another.
