Free Open Ballroom Practice
October 29 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Finally a space for anyone in Ottawa to practice their ballroom category and make connections with those who are already in the scene.
Ballroom is a vibrant, underground subculture created by Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities—particularly transgender women and gay men—in Harlem, New York, during the late 20th century.
This session is open to all who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. This is a free, recurring event, music and light snacks will be provided.
We will be meeting at McNabb Community Center, 180 Percy St, Ottawa, ON K1R 5P4, in the Assembly Hall. It is wheelchair accessible with ramps, automatic doors, working elevators and large doors available.
Ballroom categories that will be worked imcludes, Runway, Face, Performance (Vogue), Sex Sirene, Body, Commentator vs Commentator, Best dressed and many more.
This sessions are open to 2SLGBTQIA+ folks with experience or no experience at all. Do a little research on ballroom and join us to build a community. Bring your indoor runway heels, shoes and indoor performance shoes, some water, and remember that this is a safe space for queer people to be themselves.
