WE ARE LOOKING FOR CATEGORY SPONSORS
- Beginners Performance (One trophy)
Theme/Genre: Disco - Effect: SEQUINS
Picture funk, soul, and afro/latin drums played by a live orchestra. Disco became not only a genre of music, but a lifestyle for the party goers of the time, who developed their fashion to match the energy of the dancefloor. It’s your time to shine, sparkle, and shimmer. Give us the glamour and get groovy. Glamorous, expensive, and extravagant fashions are optional but sequins are a MUST - Vibe the iconic and unapologetic spirit of disco to the ball.

Performance (One trophy)
Theme/Genre: Baile Funk: Effect: Short Shorts
Funk, Miami Bass and soundsystem culture simmered in the favela during the 90s, giving rise to one of the most popular music genres today - and Brazilian producers and MCs were not shy to add their flavour to ballroom beats. In Baile Funk, short shorts are a symbol of freedom, self-expression, and empowerment, a reflection of brazilian body positivity culture. Bring it with the shortests shorts you have, we wanna see you rebolar a bunda while dipping on a crash.
Old way vs. New way (Two Trophies)
Theme/Genre: Acid House: Effect: Tie dye.
When the members of the band Phuture found a Roland 303 on a second hand store they did not know that the arpeggios of that machine would be the vehicle for uncountable trips to the depths of the mind all around the world.

Theme/Genre: Techno. Effect: Future technology
A couple of decades ago Detroit opened a portal to the future where the boundary between reality and imagination dissolved with big pulsating beats, a low pushing rumble and the help of your substance of choice.

Chains, yes. Spikes, yes yes yes.
