Knowledge Series: ‘One Day Intro - Move Queer’ with Fetu Taku

As part of The Red Rattler's Future Communities Arts Program, join the iconic Fetu Taku for a special introductory day to her empowering (award-nominated) Move Queer course! This beginner-friendly dance workshop is all about embodiment, joy, and connection — no experience necessary. Whether you're curious about the full course or just want to dip your toes into the world of movement, this day is your chance to experience it all.

Move Queer was created specifically for people who may feel uncomfortable in traditional dance settings or even on the dance floor. The class is designed to build self-esteem and confidence through physical movement, helping you develop your own vocabulary of expression. The aim is simple: to empower yourself and others by feeling confident in your body. The session will be a relaxed, fun exploration of movement, followed by a cookout and music to vibe with for the rest of the afternoon. This is more than just a dance class — it's about creating community, building relationships, and feeling truly connected to yourself and others.If you love the energy and vibe of the day, the full Move Queer workshop runs for seven weeks.
