Dance Therapy

Beginner dance class in Sydney for stress relief, confidence and connection

293,000 people watched a Dance Therapy Reel this year and discovered something Sydney's been keeping quiet. Every session since has sold out.

Held in the heart of Sydney's queer neighbourhood - Darlinghurst, the format is: guided movement, pop music, no pressure, and social connection that's actually good for you. No dance experience needed. No performance. Just you, the music, and the room.

This July themed sessions each Thursday:

Slayyyter - July 2

Madonna - July 9

TLC - July 16

Ariana Grande - July 23

Sessions have sold out every week recently.

Follow @mypeoplemytribe on Instagram to be first to know when new tickets drop.

Dance Therapy is a fun, beginner-friendly dance class designed to help you reset after work, lift your mood, and feel more energised for the rest of the week.

Held in a real nightclub space, this early-evening experience combines music, guided movement, and social connection in a welcoming LGBTQ+ inclusive environment.

Think of it as your weekly mental health reset, with pop music and great people.

No alcohol. No mirrors. No pressure to perform.

Just movement, confidence-building, and community.

Will I feel awkward coming alone?

Most participants attend solo, especially on their first visit. Within minutes, people usually feel more relaxed and part of the group. Many return weekly and form lasting connections.

What happens in class?

Each session is structured to help you feel comfortable, capable, and uplifted.

Grounding welcome and gentle warm-up

Confidence-building strut

Easy step-by-step dance routine to iconic pop artists

Time to socialise and connect under nightclub lighting

You do not need dance experience or fitness confidence. You can move at your own pace, pause when needed, and participate in a way that feels right for your body.

Participants often leave feeling lighter, more energised, and glad they came.

Why people make Dance Therapy part of their weekly routine

A fun therapy session that does not feel so serious

Reliable midweek stress relief

Confidence and self-expression through music and movement

Welcoming LGBTQ+ friendly social environment

Early finish so you can still function the next day

All year round, many participants use Dance Therapy as a regular wellbeing ritual to stay socially connected and mentally refreshed.

Who it's for

Dance Therapy is ideal for:

LGBTQ+ adults and allies (18+ venue requirement)

Human level beginners and non-dancers

People wanting a structured weekly mood boost

Anyone craving fun social connection without nightlife pressure

Sydney locals looking for something uplifting to do midweek

Most participants come alone. You will not be the only one.

The legendary Bobby Goldsmith Foundation Bake Off is back - bringing high camp, high sugar and heartfelt community spirit.

Amateur and pro bakers alike compete with outrageous creations, judged and sold for a great cause. Born in the 1980s during the HIV epidemic, this iconic fundraiser continues to raise vital funds for people living with HIV. It's time to get baking!!

This colourful, community-based event brings together professional and amateur bakers vying for the win across six categories – best decorated, best fete baking, best professional creation, best tart or pie, and the coveted best and worst cake.

The origins of this much-loved event go back to 1987 and ran for 30 years before it was retired in 2017, returning only once since then to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation.

All proceeds from this event will go to the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation.

Event tickets are $20 and can be purchased here. Cake entries ($10 per cake, per category) are submitted separately via the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation website here — if you’re entering a cake, you don’t need to purchase an event ticket.

Spice up your moves this Pride Month! Let's warm up winter - bring a friend or make new ones. It's dancing with (or without) a purpose - a touch of Salsa, Bachata and Merengue! 

All genders, sexualities, and experience levels welcome.

This event is free, but booking is essential.

✨ Big laughs. Big surprises. SERIOUSLY GOOD PRIZES.

Join 1978er (and 6th Dan Black Belt) Sifu Penny Gulliver for a free self defence workshop focused on safety, awareness and empowerment.

The workshop explores practical skills for predicting, preventing and preparing for violent situations. Open to all, this inclusive workshop welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies to build confidence, resilience and real-world safety skills.

This event is free, but bookings are essential. 

After a glittering Northern Rivers premiere, the bold new Australian musical A Midsummer Night’s Queen arrives in Sydney—and it’s bringing the party with it.

Inspired by Much Ado About Nothing, this electrifying new work spins the classic into a bold, queer celebration, set in the heart of a pulsing festival where love, identity and community collide. It’s a world of sequins, spectacle and sky-high wigs—where anything can happen, and often does.

With a soundtrack bursting with pop anthems inspired by Kylie Minogue, Madonna and ABBA, the show delivers powerhouse vocals, infectious energy and fierce choreography by Danielle Linegar that demands to be seen live. Under the dynamic direction of Kylie Fuad, the production moves seamlessly from euphoric highs to moments of raw emotional truth.

At its heart, A Midsummer Night’s Queen is a love letter to queer culture—past, present and future. It’s about the freedom to be yourself, the courage to stand tall, and the communities that lift us up when the world tries to pull us down. It’s camp, it’s fierce, it’s funny—and it might just break your heart before putting it back together again.

Created by Australian playwright and composer Michael Sharmon, and brought to life by a company of passionate LGBTQI+ artists and allies, this is a show driven by authenticity, connection and pure theatrical joy.

Whether you come for the spectacle, the music, or the message, one thing is certain—you’ll leave uplifted, energised, and ready to dance.

✨ Big voices. Bold stories. Unapologetic fabulousness.
✨ A celebration of queer identity, resilience and community
✨ Disco-fuelled theatre at its most joyful and alive

Book now and be part of something unforgettable. This queen won’t wait.
