Ballroom Session by WerkMe069

Ballroom is a culture that emerged from the black and latinx queer community of New York in the 60s and 70s. Its purpose is to uplift queer and trans* people of color who are still a marginalized group in the predominately cis white queer scene and to provide them with a safer space.

WerkMe069 is a collective created by people from the Ballroom community in Frankfurt. We organize practices and events in frankfurt honouring Ballroom as a culture, its history and the people who came before. We are part of Make It Work e.V.

The Ballroom Session in „LSKH – queeres Kulturhaus“ is a space to practice your Ballroom skills and to become part of the Frankfurt Ballroom Community. The session is catered to queer and trans* people of color with focus on adolescents and young adults.
