· The Ballroom Institute - May 2nd, 7-9pm @ Sarner Underground
This Saturday May 2, PRiDE 2015 will be hosting The Ballroom Institute. This will be a workshop to introduce participants to House and Ball Culture AKA the “ballroom scene” and will be facilitated by members of the ballroom scene.
The performers will educate on the artistic talents of ballroom (vogue) and the history of ballroom. Additionally, the performers will be giving vogue lessons and hosting a competition between the performers.
A short explanation about ballroom:
"The ballroom scene in the United States is an underground LGBTQ subculture in which participants compete for social class and recognition among their peers. Organized into informal kinship networks, referred to as "houses," and extravagant competitions, known as "balls," the ballroom scene provides a framework for social support, creative expression, and competition among Queer People of Color.
