-- Dance With Pride Launches Ambitious WorldPride DC 2025 Partnership with Eight Queer-Centered Official Partner Events
A New Chapter in Pride Celebrations Begins in Washington, DC
Dance With Pride, an LGBTQ+ owned event production company redefining and elevating LGBTQ+ celebration, has officially announced its partnership with WorldPride DC 2025. As one of the festival’s premier event partners, the company will produce eight large-scale celebratory experiences to center joy, visibility, and advocacy for the global LGBTQ+ community. Tickets and information are available at dancewithpride.com.
Dance With Pride’s premiere event series, expected to draw over 7,000 attendees from across the United States and abroad, will feature a diverse lineup of experiences, including daytime discos, circuit parties, drag showcases, legendary t-dances, and more – all at Washington D.C’s most treasured venues. With each event crafted to blend entertainment with impact, Dance With Pride is setting a new benchmark for what Pride celebrations can and should be — immersive, inclusive, and rooted in community values.
A Partnership Set to Redefine the WorldPride Stage
WorldPride DC 2025 will mark the first time the global festival is hosted in the U.S. capital, a milestone moment for both the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. Dance With Pride’s role in shaping the event’s cultural programming underscores the brand’s commitment to creating celebratory spaces that positively reflect the lived experiences of queer people worldwide.
"We’re not just throwing parties — we’re crafting experiences that celebrate queer identity, build global community, and remind us all why Pride still matters," said Joshua Hecht, Founder & CEO of Dance With Pride. "In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, our events serve as both joyful protests and safe havens for all participants."
From high-energy post-parade celebrations at Ultrabar, to thrilling dance experiences, at the Howard Theatre, Zebbie’s Garden, Mayflower Club, and Decades DC, Dance With Pride's offerings during WorldPride 2025 are designed with passion, purpose, and celebration for queer culture. The world-class performer lineup blends legendary talent, powerful visual production, stunning decor, and authentic community representation. Tickets are available at dancewithpride.com.
Elevating Queer Joy, Grounded in Advocacy
While Dance With Pride’s events will be known for their vibrant atmosphere and scale, they are equally recognized for their purpose. A significant portion of proceeds from each production will benefit LGBTQ+ focused nonprofits, furthering the organization’s mission to uplift queer communities through both celebration and tangible support.
“Our mission is to spread values of love, unity, hope, and joy across the globe, while ensuring every member of our community feels seen, heard, appreciated, and celebrated,” Hecht added.
The organization’s work is deeply rooted in advocacy, and every event is a testament to the belief that Pride is not only a celebration, but a political and cultural movement. Each production aims to center LGBTQ+ identities while creating safe, affirming environments where attendees can connect, dance, and thrive.
Leadership That Reflects the Community It Serves
At the heart of Dance With Pride’s distinct approach is a leadership team that mirrors the diversity of the community it supports. Proudly LGBTQ+ owned, the organization’s core values are shaped by the real-life experiences of queer individuals from all walks of life.
This lived authenticity is evident in the details of every event — from the themes and venues to the performers and community partnerships. By ensuring diverse voices are part of the planning process, Dance With Pride is able to produce events that resonate on a deeper level.
"As a performer, working with Dance With Pride is a dream," said a recent collaborator. "The entire team values queer artistry and gives us space to truly shine. Their attention to detail and respect for the culture is incredible."
From Washington, DC to the World
While all eyes are currently on the upcoming WorldPride DC 2025 series, Dance With Pride is already looking toward the future. Expansion plans are underway for additional international events, including a multi-event experience currently in development for WorldPride Amsterdam in 2026.
This global vision is part of what sets the company apart. Rather than simply producing one-off events, Dance With Pride is establishing itself as a movement — one that spans cities, countries, and cultures, with love and joy as its unifying force.
The company’s website, which includes an application portal for volunteers, partners, sponsors, and rising talent at dancewithpride.com/community, reflects its community-first approach and ongoing investment in inclusive collaboration.
Shaping the Future of Queer Celebration
Dance With Pride’s emergence as a leading force in LGBTQ+ event production arrives at a critical moment. As debates over queer rights continue across the globe, the need for joyful, safe, and affirming spaces has never been more urgent or important. With their upcoming series of Official WorldPride Partner Events, the company is taking a bold step toward filling that need — and setting a new gold standard in the process.
Attendee interest is growing rapidly, and each event promises a unique experience rooted in visibility, community, and pride. "Dance With Pride understands that Pride is more than a celebration — it's a statement,” said a registered guest. “Their events are immersive, empowering, and exactly what our community needs right now."
With the countdown to WorldPride DC 2025 officially underway, Dance With Pride is poised to lead a new era in queer celebration — one that embraces authenticity, promotes advocacy, and brings thousands together in the name of love, community, joy, and liberation.
