April 16th – IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!
Come celebrate one whole year of line dancing with us 🤠
Chaps and Straps is a space for LGBTQIA+ people to come together and DANCE. Throughout the evening you’ll learn three dances, with each lesson lasting for around 30 minutes, with plenty of open dance floor in between to practice, play, and let loose. Expect a mix of country classics and queer pop anthems.
Our events are completely beginner-friendly and open to all levels of confidence, experience, and enthusiasm. Your only job at Chaps and Straps is to enjoy yourself, there is never any pressure.
Dress up if you fancy it – think cowboy hats, denim, leather – or just come as you are. For this special birthday edition, we’re hosting a COSTUME COMPETITION, with the winner receiving two free tickets to every Chaps and Straps event for the rest of 2026.
After the lessons, we’ll dance the night out with a DJ set from the incomparable DJ ZXAN. Founder of Gal Pals, he’s known for genre-defying, seamlessly blended sets — and this time, he’s bringing a curated mix with a country twist. Stick around to bask in the high of dancing and community.
This event is created by and for LGBTQIA+ people. We especially welcome our Trans, Intersex, and Non-Binary siblings – your presence is valued and celebrated here. Our dances are taught with options to suit different gender expressions and are designed to help you connect with your body with joy.
We know coming along can feel a bit intimidating — if you’ve got any questions at all, drop us a message on Instagram @chapsandstraps 💌
