Image Description: Group picture of some of the members of the Queerobics collective, show kneeling and crouching together in colorful clothing and face masks, one member in from pointing directly at the camera. They are hudled together on an outdoor basketball court in front of a brick wall painted with multi-colored geometrical shapes.
Queerobics West Philly
Queerobics West Philly is a collectively-run, accessibility-centered dance aerobics class and dance theater performance all in one. This project is led and steered by queer and trans dance artists, performers of all flavors, anti-oppression fitness folks, public health workers, and chronically ill community members.
We aim to celebrate moving together, both literally and metaphorically, toward an anti-ableist, anti-racist, fat liberationist, consent-centered practice.
Collectively led by Dance Captains: Court Craig, Leigh Huster, CJ Jasen, K.C. Jones, Eli Kim, & Ash Kole
Queerobics was awarded a 2023 Teaching Grant from The Movement Foundation, and a 2024 TRANSFORM Business Grant for bringing more accessible and inclusive movement to the Philly community.
