FESTIVAL
 

We provide safe spaces, dance and music being the common denominator, to as many people possible regardless of sexuality, gender, age, race, or experience level. The goal is to positively impact the communities we service by harnessing the fierceness, liberation, art, and unity that gay urban dance offers. We curate on demand, monthly, touring, and youth led initiatives, as well as a culminating annual international gay urban dance festival in sunny South Florida, USA.


Among those impacted by HIV/AIDS — the population WTPUNK supports — are largely LGBTQIA + individuals, many of which are people of color who are members of the ballroom scene, drag scene, and/or underground urban dance community. WTPUNK emerges out of a vital need for allies and “support systems“ within those communities.

FOLKLORE

​

Universal Language, is a hosted travel dance series associate produced by OGN that will investigate how the migration and assimilation of peoples changed the dynamic of that society through dance and music.
