Black Rainbow Movement proudly presents The Emerald City Ball, which marks the seventh installment in a series dedicated to introducing the rich cultural exchange of ballroom to the Tennessee Valley. Originating from the vibrant LGBTQ+ community in Harlem during the 1960s, Vogue ballroom is a testament to self-expression, creativity, and inclusivity. Its impact extends far beyond its origins, influencing dance, fashion, and identity.Each ball is carefully curated with a theme, serving as a guiding inspiration for our contestants. For our upcoming event, we're excited to breathe life into the enchanting tale of The Wizard of Oz within the ballroom scene. This timeless classic holds a special place within the LGBTQIA+ community, with some historically referring to themselves as "Friends of Dorothy" as a subtle nod to their affiliation with the community.
The Wizard of Oz is rich with vibrant characters, each with their own distinct and iconic designs. We anticipate our contestants embracing these characters and transforming the ballroom into a spectacle of creativity and style. Get ready to witness stunning looks as our contestants sashay down the yellow-brick runway in true fashion-forward flair.
