6 burlesque dancers pose for a photo. Left to right they are: a black woman in leather with a large blonde fro, a black woman in a red dress with long red curls, a black woman in a neon green bikini, a black woman in a plunge dress with long curly black hair, and a white woman in pastel pink whose giant hat looks like a cherry blossom

We had our first set of lessons at Montgomery College today! Look at all these lovely people who turned up :) Here are a couple of scenes from today's fundamentals class, too, showing extension of the leg before movement.

2 rows of people pose with a progress pride flag and a painted sign for the Queer Tango Collective. 9 stand in the back, and 7 sit in front.

A teacher in the center of a circle of students demonstrates forward extension and some students try it out too.

This will be interesting for boaters: the section of the navigable channel next to the American Airlines Flight 5342 and Black Hawk crash site has been permanently marked "no wake."

Undoubtedly, many boaters will not be accustomed to slower travel in this section of the river.

We are excited to announce that starting this Saturday, March 22, we will be offering FREE dance classes and practice EVERY Saturday afternoon. All of our events are queer-centered.

Please note, no street shoes or stiletto heels are permitted on the dance floor. Dance shoes with flat or chunky heels are fine, and socks are a great option.

Thank you to Montgomery College's Department of Visual and Performing Arts for their space partnership.

Signs seen at the Transexual Menace rally in Dupont Circle

#TransexualMenace #DupontCircle #WashingtonDC #DMV #rally #trans #lgbtq #lgbtqi #lgbtqplus #lgbtqia #TransRightsAreHumanRights

A person in a black mask holds a sign saying “you can’t define me out of existence.” Another person holds a large trans pride flag behind.

A large sign with a rainbow and blue and purple clouds. A heart colored in with a trans pride flag background says “you are loved. You matter. Your life matters. You deserve to feel safe.”

A person in a black hat holds a small cardboard sign that says “trans liberation is for everyone.”

A large trans pride flag that has written on it “death before detransition”

@ggwash "Lesson learned: Single-stair multifamily designs enabled narrow buildings that fit on narrow city lots; adding more units means more narrow buildings, instead of making big buildings even wider or taller. Smaller buildings allow more builders to participate in neighborhood evolution." #ArchitecturalHistory #DMV #preservation #SingleStair #BuildingCodeReform #Housing #Architecture
