All the categories are inspired by American Horror Story (AHS) so show us why youre the spookiest girl in London!
Ballroom is a culture and community originated in the 1980s in New York City. Ballroom was created as a safe space for black and Latino LBGTQIA youth and adults who were facing discrimination in many aspects of life. A ball is a competition were members of the ballroom community compete for their houses for trophies, cash and reputation. If you are new to Ballroom and Balls and want to walk a category please research Ballroom and the categories before stepping to the back to the runway.
Those who wish to walk the ball, please email [email protected] for Walkers tickets separately! Anyone is welcome to participate, but if youre new to Ballroom culture and want to walk any category, why not do some research, and find out what each category is about before you step to the floor?
