✯ NOTE ✯
♡ Ballroom is first and foremost a space for self-expression for BIPoC, LGBTQIA+ and allies. A space created by Black and Latinx trans women.
♡ Ballroom is an inclusive space and all bodies are welcome to join and celebrate, but we expect sensitivity, awareness, and allyship for the community, both in and out of the Ballroom. There is no space for any forms of racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, or any other form of discrimination.
♡ Photography and videography are strictly prohibited during the Body and SxX siren categories.
♡ Everybody is welcome to join and watch the ball. You can cheer for the performers, you can dance to the beat, you can express your joy however you want to, but please do not enter the stage if you are not ready for it!
♡ There are no rules regarding your outfit – no dress code nor specific expectations. But feel free to get tropical! The category description could be an inspiration for spectators‘ dress code too!
♡ White participants should always refrain from braids, afro wigs etc. (This might lead to a chop! We are faithful that you will manage to interpret the assignment without appropriation)
