◦•●♡❤️ ℬal u ℬożeny Collective presents - Sunday Serving Kiki Function in XOXO!
Let's welcome the New Year with joy, community, and pure fun!
Sunday Serving is designed for the youth, the newer generation, and anyone eager to try themselves in new categories before walking bigger balls. Whether you’re trying out a category for the first time, sharpening your skills, or building confidence before stepping onto bigger stages, this is the perfect space to grow and shine!
Whether you’re competing or cheering from the crowd, this event is all about community, creativity, and celebrating the spirit of ballroom. Everyone is welcome to join, enjoy the performances, and feel inspired!
Ballroom is a cultural movement rooted in the 1970s, created by Black and Latinx trans women in the US as a space for expression, resilience, and chosen family. Through different categories, participants share their talent, creativity, and presence - while honoring the pioneers of the scene and continuing to build a safer, empowering space for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.
The aim of Sunday Serving is also to give back to the community - part of the funds raised will go directly to support members of the scene in need. This edition will include a fundraiser in support of Arlo's surgery - a queer artist associated with activism, anti-discrimination education, and work on behalf of marginalized communities.

🏳️🌈What is Ballroom?🏳️🌈
Ballroom culture was created by African-American and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities in the 70' in New York City. It comes from the culture of Drag Queens, who used to meet at underground balls in Harlem where they competed with each other in many performative and dance categories. Since then, balls have become an inclusive and safe space for free expression for queer youth of color. In addition to many categories related to performance and dance (Voguing), the ballroom is characterized by the creation of alternative family models such as House, vocabulary, music, or its own social hierarchies such as Icons, Legenda, Statements, and Stars.
Ballroom Culture is a safe(r) space that prioritizes QTIBIPOC. Please be mindful and respectful of who the space is for. Before stepping out on the runway, please get to know the ballroom history and the rules of a given category. If you have any questions please contact us here:
