ReneGAYdes
The ReneGAYdes are Gays For Patsy's official performance group. Formed in
1992, the group currently consists of 15 members and performs choreographed
dance routines locally at fundraisers, social events, marches, and other
special events, and nationally on the Gay Rodeo and Hoedown circuits.
The ReneGAYdes were the first lesbian and gay group to have performed
at a Boston Mayoral Inauguration. Other highlights include a performance
at the 1993 March On Washington, winning the silver medal at the International
Gay and Lesbian Country Western Dance Competition at the 1994 Gay Games
in New York City, a performance at the annual meeting of Staples, Inc.
in Boston, MA, a first-ever country/western dance performance in Dorset,
England, a country/western dance demonstration at the Dedham Mall in Dedham,
MA, a unique joint performance with Southern Country South Florida in
Atlanta, Georgia, and first place in the 1995 Atlantic Coast Open team
dance competition in Washington, D.C.
The ReneGAYdes' mission is to promote Country/Western dance and promote
the visibility of Lesbians and Gay men through dance performance. To further
that mission, we welcome invitations to a variety of events and occasions,
large and small. We have entertained audiences as large as five thousand
people and as small as a ten-person ESL class. We offer a performance
repertoire of anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes, and if desired we will also
DJ a country/western dance set of any length desired, and teach two-step,
line dances and fun mixer dances. We can use your sound system, or bring
our own.
