Erlebt eine unvergessliche Nacht voller einzigartiger Performances! Das Event ehrt Beyoncé als Symbol für Female Empowerment und queere Emanzipation seit den 90ern.
Die Ballroom-Subkultur entstand in den 1970er Jahren in New York, als Reaktion schwarzer und lateinamerikanischer queerer und trans* Personen auf ihre Marginalisierung in einer cis-heteronormativen, weißen Gesellschaft. Teilnehmende, die sich monatelang vorbereitet haben, treten in 15-20 Kategorien gegeneinander an.
Diese Veranstaltung feiert Vielfalt und fördert den Respekt vor Diversität. Sie richtet sich an Mitglieder der internationalen Ballroom-Szene sowie an queere und trans* BIPOC und Verbündete im Rhein-Neckar-Gebiet.

The Ballroom ABC:
FF = Female Figure = Fem Queens, Cis Women or Drag Queens
MF = Male Figure = Butch Queens, Transmen, Drag King (exceptionally straight men)
FQ = Fem Queen = ballroom lingo for trans woman.
Drag = especially for the category Realness, Drags try to imitate a heteronormative woman (no visible facial/body hair or experimental make up, but padding etc.) and the other way around for Drag Kings who are still very rare in ballroom.
BQ = Butch Queen = A cis man that identifies as homosexual and can(!) serve both - a masculine and feminine side.
Lion Babe = non-binary and FF (stud/butch) portraying a masculine or feminine sex appeal .
Cat boy = a less aggressive and straight forward version of MF sex siren. Neither masculine neither feminine sex appeal.
Women = cisgender women. Sexuality doesn't matter.
OTA = Open to all. No sex dividing, includes non-binary and straight people.
Virgin = First time walking / never walked before in a specific category.
Baby/Beginner = everyone who is walking a specific category under a year.
Tag Team = two people walking a category together - walking one by one but Tag your partner when you have to switch.
Ballroom is based on imitating heteronormativity out of admiration and criticism at the same time.
