LGBTI+ Elders Dance Club – Scotland

A fabulous, free event for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Gender Diverse, and Intersex elders and allies.

At The LGBTI+ Elders Social Dance Club there will be refreshments, music, lots of folk to chat to, a chance to meet new people, connect with the LGBTI+ communities and if you fancy it – have a wee boogie.  We would like get to know you, and you can get to know us.

The LGBTI+ Social Elders Dance Club is part of a global movement that places the social, mental and physical rights of LGBTI+ elders at the forefront of creative action and community celebration. The project, which premiered in Melbourne Australia, is inspired by research revealing that many older LGBTI+ people closet their sexual, gendered or cultural identity in aged care homes because they don’t feel safe. Through the partnership of National Theatre of Scotland, Luminate Festival and Eden Court, All The Queens Men are excited that this important project will transform the lives of LGBTI+ elders around Scotland. We acknowledge the huge contribution elders have made to social change and offer this project as a gift, that acknowledges their past and looks towards a shared optimistic future. The project combats social isolation and loneliness and connects elders together as part of a national and international social movement.
