Dance with Rhythm & Motion and Dancers' Group in the 2017 San Francisco Pride Parade!
This is your chance to dance your heart out through the center of the city alongside your friends, teachers and fellow Bay Area dancers! We'll be performing three fun, energetic routines celebrating diversity, community, and the joy of dance.
This year Rhythm & Motion has partnered with Dancers' Group, along with World Arts West, ODC School, Latin Dance Grooves, and Alonzo King LINES Dance Center to highlight the parade's theme, "A Celebration of Diversity." Our contingent will include students and dancers that represent diverse forms from all over the region. Together, let's demonstrate the power and beauty of dance!
Need more inspiration? View video clips from last year and 2015, when we won the TOP prize of Absolutely Fabulous Overall Contingent.
Dancers of all levels welcome—no previous experience required.
Once you've registered, refer to our Dance with Pride page for additional information and updates leading up to parade day.
REGISTRATION ENDS SUNDAY, JUNE 18 AT MIDNIGHT (OR EARLIER IF WE HIT CAPACITY).
THE CHOREOGRAPHY
There are three ways for you to learn the trio of routines we'll perform in this year's parade:
Attend select Rhythm & Motion Fusion and Essentials classes at ODC School or LINES Dance Center in San Francisco throughout the month of June
Practice the routines in your living room with our online videos (coming soon)
Perfect the routines at free pre-parade rehearsals (view schedule)
All registrants are required to attend at least one rehearsal, as this is a performance and we want our contingent to look sharp for the judges and the crowd! The rehearsals will also help you learn how to appropriately and safely move through space (i.e. while traveling down Market Street) with the choreography.
THE COSTUMES
All registrants will receive a limited edition Dance with Pride shirt to wear on parade day. You are welcome to add anything you'd like to enhance your look, especially elements that represent your cultural heritage, or highlight the parade theme of celebrating diversity. Go as wild and crazy or as sleek and simple as you want. Comfy, supportive shoes and sunscreen highly recommended.
THE SUPPORT
To keep our group moving smoothly we need the help of many volunteers. Please invite friends and family to come out and support our group. They'll have a great time in the process - and get a free shirt to boot! Volunteers supply dancers with water and snacks, hand out stickers and postcards to the crowd, and carry our contingent banner.
To volunteer:
Choose the "Volunteer" option when you register on this website ($10 fee, includes limited edition shirt)
Your confirmation email will contain a link to a short safety video. Please watch that video, and then answer the online questionnaire provided by the parade organizers.
Email Leigh to let her know you have completed the questionnaire.
For questions about volunteering, please contact Leigh.
THE QUESTIONS
Is there an age limit to participate in the Dance with Pride contingent?
We love kids, but do not recommend that those under age 14 participate in this contingent, as the parade route is long, fast moving, and a bit chaotic. Plus, you'll be lost in the moment dancing your butt off! Have them come with friends or family instead, so they can cheer you on from the sidelines. If you have any questions, please contact us.
What are my transport/parking options?
We strongly recommend that you take public transportation to and from the event as driving anywhere near the assembly area and parade route will be difficult. The assembly area is easily accessible by BART or MUNI using the Embarcadero Station stop (come up on the south of Market side). See the SF Pride Transit Guide for helpful links and information.
What can/can't I bring to the event?
Please bring as little with you as possible. Space on the truck for personal items will be extremely limited. We can accommodate a light jacket, but will not have space for bags or backpacks. If you store any personal items on the truck, you will not have access to them again until we complete the parade. If you need frequent access to something, wear a small "fanny pack" or find another way to keep it on your person.
Exactly when and where will we meet on parade morning?
The parade organizers have not published the order of the contingents yet. In past years we have been everywhere from 8th to 208th! As soon as we know our number, we’ll let you know exactly when and where to assemble. Once we are off and dancing, the whole route should take approximately one hour or less to complete.
How do I get my limited edition Dance with Pride shirt?
We will be handing out the shirts to registrants at all rehearsals the week of the parade.
What is the refund policy?
You may cancel any time on or before June 11 and receive a full refund. After June 11 we are unable to issue refunds for cancellation, but you may transfer your registration to someone else.
Are there any discounts?
We want to make sure that anyone interested in this event can participate. If the fee is a challenge for you, please contact us to discuss work exchange options. We are also offering an early bird discount on registration until June 5.
Whom can I contact if I have questions?
Email us, call us at 415-549-8525, or stop by the Rhythm & Motion office on the ground floor of ODC Dance Commons at 351 Shotwell Street in San Francisco. We're here to help!
