Dynamic dance duo
BearDance and the Purple Foundation team up to ‘Love Loud’ at S4 RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Fr this year’s Pride in Dallas, music, dance and drag fans get a big beefy treat on Sunday after the parade.
Two of the area’s biggest party presenters timed it just right to come together for one big celebration. BearDance and The Purple Foundation will host Love Loud tea dance at Station 4, marking the first team-up by the two organizations. “We were encouraged to do a party after the parade by Station 4,” BearDance’s Mark Trimble said. “In a quirk of calendar scheduling, both BearDance and Purple Party had this time on our calendars, so we thought Pride in Dallas was a perfect time to collaborate.” BearDance’s signature event is held during the annual Texas Bear Round-up each spring.
The Purple Foundation hosts the annual Purple Party, a circuit party that includes a number of dance events across various venues throughout Dallas.
The two coming together is really a landmark moment for the scene. “We’ve had a great relationship with BearDance for over a decade and we are excited to take that relationship even further by co-producing Love Loud with them,” Purple’s President Blake Baker said.
