our VALUES
Who are we, and what is this thing we’re doing?
Queerobics West Philly is a collectively-run dance aerobics class, led and steered by queer and trans dance artists, performers of all flavors, anti-oppression fitness folks, public health workers, and chronically ill community members.
Queerobics West Philly is a project that believes in creativity and deeply aligns with movement as a guiding value. We aim to celebrate moving together, both literally and metaphorically, toward an anti-ableist, anti-racist, fat liberationist, consent-centered practice.
We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically embrace that this process is ever-moving and ever-evolving. Your feedback helps the community stay anchored in our core values. We ask for your thoughts at events and online to center community needs and continue improving this shared space.
Our mission is to:
-
Be in community with each other and to gather safely
-
Lead with creativity, play, and share in a love of learning (and unlearning)
-
Seek to continually reject cisnormativity, ableism, racism, classism, anti-fat bias, transphobia, resource hoarding, perfectionism, and other tools of white supremacy
