Queer + Trans Community dance is taking a pause.
Queer + Trans Community dance is a space for lgbtqia+ folks to explore dance and movement in a safe(r) space.
We practice yoga, restorative movement, free movement dance, play dance improv games and teach each other dance moves and choreography.
If you’ve been nervous about dancing and want a place where there is no wrong way to dance, come dance with us!
This an all-ages, sober space for transgender, non-binary, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, asexual, intersex, and/or agender people!
All body types and dance abilities are welcome.
We ask for a $0-$10 sliding scale donation, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Caitlin Horigan
she/her
Caitlin Horigan has been a mentor in a wide variety of settings in numerous countries for more than 18 years. She is an advocate of self-directed education and anti-oppression changework. Her teaching weaves together Joanna Macy’s The Work that Reconnects and Bill Plotkin’s Wild Mind model with expeditions, naturalist skills, and nature connection practices.
Caitlin has facilitated both day and residential place-based nature connection programming in the nonprofit sector, public and private schools, summer and after-school programs throughout the unceded territories of Wabanaki and Abenaki people.
She is on a journey of deepening relationship with the more than human world and connecting with her ancestral lineages. Caitlin is a Wilderness First Responder, and pursuing a Recreational Maine Guide license.
In 2018 she began the multi year Wild Mind Training Program with Animas Valley Institute and in 2019 she completed a graduate certificate in Ecopsychology through Pacifica Graduate Institute. She has also participated in Helping the Butterfly Hatch, a mentorship program for facilitators of Self Directed Education. She recently began an interdisciplinary graduate program at UMaine in Peace and Reconciliation Studies. She is also a certified Forest Therapy Guide. Caitlin is committed to increasing the accessibility of programs she offers and continues to explore how to thrive in a capitalist system while creating a post-capitalist future.
When she is not working Caitlin enjoys exploring the woods, following animal trails, making medicine, foraging food, creating art, running barefoot, practicing yoga, and dancing.
