🌈 Please vote for Dance with Pride for “Best Overall Contingent” at the 2026 San Francisco Pride Parade! (link in bio)

We’re deeply honored to be one of just five finalists out of more than 200 contingents that participated this year.

The Best Overall Contingent award recognizes outstanding visual presentation, creative expression, emotional impact, the energy and joy a contingent brings to Market Street, and how meaningfully it reflects this year’s Pride theme: “Resistance in Action.”

Because we believe everyone watching deserves a show, our contingent danced fully for the entire 1.6 mile route. We were made up of 200 dancers and volunteers, ages 17 to 76, representing the LGBTQ+ community, allies and our families, all from many different backgrounds. Each of us came to the contingent with our own reasons for showing up - our own stories, hopes, gratitude, advocacy, remembrance, and celebration. Together, our intentions became one collective act of resistance through joy, visibility, community and dance.

If our contingent moved or inspired you (and/or you want to support people and organizations you know and love) we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote. Every vote helps celebrate what this dance community created together and the values we are proud to represent everyday.

One quick note: On the voting page, we’re listed as “Rhythm in Motion – Dancers With Pride.” Not quite right, but that’s us! (Our official name is Rhythm & Motion and Dancers’ Group, and our contingent is Dance with Pride.) 🌈💜

Dance doesn’t have to have choreography attached. Sometimes it’s just feeling the music, the vibe from others around you, and free-styling. Or, in a parade setting, it’s walking with style and catching your breath before the next choreographed song starts. 😃 🥵

We had three minute-long breaks on the route. Two of them were used to close the gap between our contingent and the one in front of us; this is the one that we got to groove to. 🤣

1.5 miles of dancing (and speed walking/dancing) later, our Dance with Pride contingent reaches the end of the parade route and the grandstands and judges table with “Compromise.” The cheers from the crowd will be a sound we will never forget.

Here’s the unedited footage from that moment…

Resistance in Action was this year’s
San Francisco Pride theme.

In that spirit, we danced to “Compromise,” a reminder that some things shouldn’t be up for negotiation and we must continue to stand up for ourselves and for each other.

This was the choreography we eventually did at the grandstands. (Video coming soon).

If JOY had a soundtrack, this would be lead single.

We loved dancing to it at Pride last year, we had to bring it back….this time with a functioning sound system and singing along for fun, not necessity.

IYKYK. 🤣 🌈

The first dance steps onto the San Francisco Pride Parade route never get old.

You look around and see this extraordinary community dancing their hearts out in a sea of color, creating moments of joy for people they may never know…but who may remember this feeling forever.

Every smile, every wave, every cheer, and every person in the crowd singing along reminds us why we do this.

This is the magic of Dance with Pride.
Happy Pride, everyone! 🌈

DANCE WITH PRIDE IS CONTINGENT #65 in the SF Pride Parade!! Look for our 200 dancers and volunteers sharing all the love on the streets of SF - Sunday, June 28. Parade starts at 10:30am (We’ll hit the route sometime between 11:30am-12:30pm.)

Check out a preview of our last two rehearsals - outdoors at the Yerba Buena Gardens and in studios at ODC. This is just a fraction of the dancers…imagine what it’ll look like when you triple the number of dancers. That’s what you’ll see on parade day! 🤩

Happy Pride!

On Sunday, we held our first ever Rhythm & Motion Dance WERK-out class at the ODC Dance Commons…

…and the result was chaos in the cutest way possible, joyful, lip-sync fantasy realness, laughter and community all rolled up in one fabulous morning.

Thank you to TO###IN and Michellyn Star for helping us create one of the most delightfully over-the-top Rhythm & Motion experiences we’ve ever had.

And thank you to every student who showed up ready to dance, play, connect, and celebrate. If you missed the class or want to relive some moments, check out the videos.

Drag culture reminds us that joy is powerful, self-expression matters, and sometimes inspiring change and progress starts by boldly showing up as yourself, your alter ego or your fabulous inner diva…and giving others permission to do the same.

Happy Pride, everyone! 🌈 💖
