Tuesday night saw Richmondites celebrate Pride Week with a dance-based fitness class.
The event, hosted by the West Richmond Community Centre as part of their summer music series, featured an outdoor, high-energy dance class run by Sabine Yep, a personal trainer and group fitness instructor.
If event-goers didn’t feel like breaking a sweat, there was also a variety of family-friendly options, including a food truck, arts and crafts, hula hoops and bubbles, and sidewalk chalk.
If you missed out last night, there are still lots of Pride events coming up around the city. Read below for more details.
