The Black Rainbow Movement proudly presents The Candy Land Ball, the eighth installment in our series dedicated to bringing the vibrant cultural exchange of ballroom to the Tennessee Valley. Originating from the LGBTQ+ community in Harlem during the 1960s, Vogue ballroom celebrates self-expression, creativity, and inclusivity. Its influence has shaped dance, fashion, and identity worldwide.
Each ball features a carefully curated theme to inspire our contestants. For this event, we're excited to introduce the sweet world of Candy Land. Embrace the beloved board game's charm by personifying your favorite candy in each category.
