Glitter and Groove is a two-hour dance party made for people who just want a fun place to dance their butts off.
Spin and swivel under stage lights in a beautiful black-box burlesque theater. Wiggle your waistline in front of a mirrored wall. Take a break in the bleachers and enjoy a craft cocktail (alcoholic or non) from the Newport's fully stocked cash bar.
Attendance is limited to ensure room to groove. Guests are not required to dress on theme, but artistically attired attendees are awarded for awesome apparel.
Glitter and Groove is a safe space in which common courtesy and clear consent are required.
This queer-friendly event is open to all genders and celebrates dancers of all shapes, sizes, cultures, and levels of abilty/skill.
The Newport Theater is accessible by stairs only, but a private entrance with a stair lift is avaiable upon request.
Let’s dance!
