Monthly QUEER Dance & Mingle | Sanura Dance x LBTQWomen

By Sanura Dance x LBTQWomen

📍 _The Castle, Aldgate – 44 Commercial Road, London E1 1LN_

📅 _First Edition: Wednesday 8 January 2025, 6:30 PM – late_

Get ready to move, connect, and express yourself through queer salsa and bachata!
Sanura Dance – the FLINTA, feminist & LGBTQ+ dance community – brings their signature inclusive workshops to The Castle’s stunning upper floor.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the workshop kicks off at 6:45 PM sharp.
Everyone learns both to lead and follow, because empowerment is at the heart of what we do. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as a couple — expect laughter, rhythm, and a shared sense of freedom. After the workshop, stay for a relaxed social dance where you can practise, play, and enjoy the music.

From 7:00 PM, the LBTQWomen host will be downstairs ready to welcome you for a chill evening of chats, laughs, and new connections. The back space of the pub is all yours if you’re in a chatty mood (and yes, drinks are on the menu 🍸).

LBTQWomen is a platform amplifying the femme side of the LGBTQ+ community, creating spaces for connection and belonging.
✨ “If you think your home is with us, YOUR home is with us.”

A queer-friendly gem in East London, The Castle is an independent pub known for its welcoming staff, good food, and brilliant two-floor layout. The upstairs event room, with its high ceilings, dance-friendly floors, and natural light, feels like a mini ballroom — intimate yet vibrant. Downstairs, the buzzing bar and back room set the perfect scene for conversation and connection.

Just a few minutes from Aldgate East Station, it’s easy to reach and hard to leave.
