It's The Hot Girl Summer Weekend and Ballroom is here! Welcome to The Bawdy Yawdy Ball on saturday to celebrate Ballroom culture!
Ballroom was created by black and latin trans women back in Harlem, New York at the late 1960s, due to racism they faced within the white pageant scene. Ballroom is an underground subculture by and for the BIPOC LGBTQ+ community and it is a competition where participants walk different categories in beauty, sex, fashion and performance (voguing).
One of the biggest balls in Europe will now be in Stockholm, together with international Icons and Legends from The United States, France and Holland. There will be 31 categories and for the first time in Europe, Femme Queen Performance for 1000 euro cash prize! All the categories and the themes are taking inspiration from the iconic female r&b, soul and hip hop artists.
If you are not from the community, you are a guest in the culture, so please be mindful of the space you take. Respect the space and the people who are performing. If you would like to walk/participate, learn, study and practise the culture and the categories beforehand. If there are any questions, please contact the organizer and they will help you.
No rasicm, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, body shaming, sexism or any kind of discrimination!
