Older Adult Programs
Our Senior & Older Adult Programs offer LGBTQ+ folx opportunities to enhance their quality of life through social and recreational activities.

This gentle, welcoming series is about rediscovering the joy of exercise through movement, reclaiming the idea that anyone can be a dancer, and letting go of shame or pressure around how bodies are “supposed” to move. Over seven classes, participants will co-create accessible choreography, creative movement, and embodied expression in a supportive, affirming space. No prior dance experience required. Participants may miss up to two classes and still fully participate. The series will culminate in a joyful, low-pressure performance at The Diversity Center's Senior Luncheon on April 11, offering an opportunity to celebrate movement, community, and self-expression.
