- After-Show-Party with GG VYBE "What is Ballroom-Culture" Ballroomculture emerged in the early 1970s in Harlem, New York. Marginalized by the white and heterosexual majority society, Black and Latinx people from the LGBTIQ+ community came together in so-called ballrooms, spaces where they could feel safe, founded surrogate families (so-called "houses"), danced and performed playfully with, for and against each other.

The Frankfurt ballroom community "anybody walking?" and the Tanzplattform Rhein-Main invite you to the big hall of the Mousonturm to celebrate voguing, ballroom culture and music as self-empowerment of queer, non-binary and trans* people of color. We start late in the morning on the rehearsal stages with workshops for the community, then offer space in the foyer and on the terrace to sit, eat, drink and exchange ideas. After a talk with invited guests, we move on to the Kiki Ball, the dance highlight of the ballroom scene. Participating artists from the region and international stars - Magia Marciano (Berlin), Mandhla Laveaux (Berlin), Zion Bodega (Paris), Roberto Angels (Amsterdam) - accompanied by Ceekay Juicy Couture on the turntables, compete in 11 categories for beginners and advanced dancers: Beginners Performance Beginners Runway Face Realness Fashionkiller Sex Siren Body Hands vs. Arms Runway Performance Com vs. Com
