⚠️ HEADS UP ⚠️
This is not your regular event!
All Shapes&Shades events are taking place within a Safe(r) Space concept. The events are primarily addressing people, who identify as LGBTQIA+, B*Poc or PoC. Ballroom is an inclusive space and all bodies are welcome to join and celebrate, but we expect sensitivity, awareness, and allyship for the community, in and outside of Ballroom.
Ballroom takes a firm stance against all forms of racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, or any other form of discrimination. We, the Shapes&Shades collective, will serve as an awareness team at the events, to make sure that the house rules are respected.
