BearDance invites you to join us this NYE at the Hard Rock Café Dallas
Event Details
BearDance is re-imagining New Year's Eve this year as an epic bear party at the Hard Rock Cafe. We unite the guests of two awesome house parties and invite bears from all over to come together to party, socialize, and raise funds for local LGBT charities as bears don their most interesting yellow attire to celebrate the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014! Come join the bears, cubs, otters, and friends in expressing yourself in your favorite shade of yellow, sunshine, lemon chiffon, goldenrod, or dandelion or even show up as Pooh bear, a school bus, or a yellow submarine! If you want, you may compete in our attire contest for awards. Combining efforts and forces, Jason Kloss and Mark Trimble and Ami Sadeh are bringing their house parties under the BearDance umbrella and bringing the bears a different venue to enjoy and a fun New Year's Eve party close to downtown.
