The mission of Stomptown Dance Association is to provide a safe venue for LGBTQ+ dancers, to provide educational support in the form of dance classes and scholarships, and to promote national and international competition in the field of dance among LGBTQ+ competitors. Our goal is fun dancing and socializing in a friendly, safe and welcoming environment in the Country Western spirit of social dance.
Partner dancing is an important cultural, recreational and athletic endeavor enjoyed by millions of Americans, however the LGBTQ+ community has long experienced discrimination in this field within the settings of dance classes, where partners often refuse to dance with LGBTQ+ dancers or define roles of lead and follow by gender.
Serving the Greater Portland Oregon/Vancouver Washington area, we are a Country/Western dance community for Lesbian, Gay, Straight, Bi, Trans, Queer and Gay friendly dancers of all dance abilities, beginner to advanced: singles, couples, groups.
