You’re Invited!!

Join Us for a Night of Dance, Joy, & Rejuvenation!

Friends, these are hard days. Take a break, dance it out, find your joy, and keep fighting!

What is it?

A good ol’ fashioned dance party! Think of it as a dance party in your living room…but with a little more space. We’ll have music, speakers, snacks, and people ready to release some tension and rejuvenate together.

Who?

Sarah Bramley and Keira Hart-Mendoza are your hosts for the evening.

Where is it?

📍 1430 Maryland Ave NE, Washington, DC

Formerly The Argonaut space, now the greenhouse-like space across from Daru at the corner of H St/Maryland/Benning/Bladensburg.
You might know it as, “Huh, I wonder what’s attached to that terrific family-run liquor store?” (Answer: H St Liquors!)

When is it?

📅 March 14, 2025
🕗 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM
If you’re making a night of it, there are a bunch of great new restaurants & bars on H St!

Why this date?

It’s the eve of the second Dance Protest in support of the Kennedy Center (). We’ll take a few minutes to learn the featured dance from the protest (totally optional—feel free to take a break instead!).

🎥 Learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yHwKDBgCmY

What does it cost?

💸 FREE! But if you’re able, we’d appreciate a $15 donation or any amount to help cover the space rental. Anything extra will be donated to a great cause.
Venmo: or

What should we bring?

✔ Yourself & friends (kids welcome!)
✔ Nibbles to share (optional)
✔ If you’d like a drink, please purchase from H St Liquors (attached to the venue). Their only request is that we don’t bring outside drinks—help us avoid a fine!

Anything else?

We’re just excited to have a great time and recharge together. Come dance, enjoy, and keep the fight going!

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.”
