In English
Within ballroom, there are three performance categories: Old Way, New Way, and Vogue Fem. The workshop will have a strong focus on Vogue Fem, a dance created by transwomen in the 1970s and 80s. We explore the history of the Vogue dance and the development of Vogue Fem, get to know the elements of the dance itself, and of course the power and self-confidence it can foster. Active members of the ballroom community will join our conversation circles and share their personal experiences inside and outside of ballrooms.
You are recommended to bring comfortable clothes that make you feel free and help bringing out the best version of yourself – be it heels, a skirt, or a wig. If you have sensitives knees, it would be helpful to bring knee pads.
