SUMMARY:Afternoon Tea Dance
DESCRIPTION:We’re kicking off Pride month with an afternoon party at @TheGrove featuring @djdelpilar! Expect high-energy dance tracks and all your fave queers! \n\n\n\nTea dances were events organized on Sunday afternoons in the US gay community\, originating in New York in the 1950s and 1960s. The original dances included tea services rather than alcohol as it was illegal to serve alcohol to queer and trans people. To lower the chances of a police raid\, these dances were held on Sunday afternoons and served non-alcoholic drinks. \n\n\n\nGet fancy and dance with cuties! Tea dances were one of the only places where people could express themselves\, so we fully encourage outfits! \n\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\n\n\nThis event centers people who are queer and/or trans who take covid precautions in their everyday lives. Allies who take covid precautions are also welcome but please be mindful that this is primarily a space for queer and/or trans folks.

SUMMARY:"All-of-the-Gay" Soirée IV: Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our fourth annual Kind Space Soirée\, as we host a social and dress up night full of mocktails\, socializing\, and even karaoke. “All-of-the-Gay” Soirée is a social event for all those over 18+ in our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We were so thrilled with the turnout the last three years\, and the amount of donated affirming and accessible formal and business wear! So we have made this an annual event\, and have moved it back to Pride Week in Ottawa!  We will be serving mocktails\, so no alcohol will be served by Kind Space at this event. \n\n\n\nThis event has a broad dress code including our theme of Galaxy or Stars\, or semi-formal; cocktail attire; business casual clothing. The Dress Code is not manditory\, and we want you to wear whatever makes YOU feel comfortable\, elevated or fancy. But you deserve an excuse to dress\, impress\, and enjoy a nice evening without needing to spend money.  \n\n\n\nWe also recognize that not all 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals have access to affordable gender affirming formal or semi-formal clothing\, but may have a desire to wear or own such clothing. This is why every year Kind Space seeks donations for business and formal attire for our “Out of the Closet” clothing space to provide a selection of these affirming garments to be accessible to those who need it. So either it be a nice outfit for a job interview\, a dear friends wedding\, or any occasion that requires pazzaz\, we will still take it. You can donate anytime during our Drop-In operational hours of 12PM-6PM Wednesday to Friday. You can also drop these donations off anytime before\, or during the event. Thank you! \n\n\n\nQuestions can be sent to programming@kindspace.ca
