Launch Event: A Place to Dance

Who says only girls can twirl on the dance floor? Who says only boys can take the lead?

Enter the world of ballroom dancing at the launch of A Place to Dance: How Richard Lamberty Brought Change to the Ballroom. Come hear from author ERIC ROSSWOOD and illustrator VINCENT CHEN as we celebrate the release of their amazing picture book biography!

Richard Lamberty is a two-time world champion ballroom dancer and the cofounder of April Follies, the longest-running and largest queer partner dance competition in North America. But when he was young man, most competitions had strict rules about the moves that were for girls only — but Richard didn't let that stop him.

This is an inspiring tale about an incredible dancer who refused to be told how he could and couldn't dance. Join us in-store as we celebrate its release!

Monday, August 10th at 6pm at Our 17th St Store!
