Ballroom Bye Bye

Ballroom Bye Bye

The category is love Anyone who has attended a Kiki Ball can consider themselves fortunate. Elaborate costumes, exceptional performances and pure elegance meet the raw, defiant character of the ballroom scene. Films such as Paris is Burning and series such as Pose show how loving and varied these communities are, and how nearly everyone is welcomed with open arms. In New York, "Houses" have a tradition reaching back to around the 80s. Runaways and young people living on the streets, often forced to leave home or thrown out because of their sexuality or their wish to live beyond narrowly defined gender roles, found a home here. Through the balls, many received recognition for who they were, as they were, for the first time. We can organise a complete ballroom event with professional voguing dancers in extravagant costumes and a range of categories. Funeral guests can take part, watch or sit on the judging panel. Afterwards, everyone can eat together and, if they wish, dance through the night in honour of the person they love, with music made for voguing and compilations from Paris is Burning and Pose projected onto the walls. If you recognise yourself or someone close to you in this idea, please contact us for a personal conversation.
