An evening about love within the ballroom community
FRESH: VALIDATION IS THAT LOVE?
By:
Midnight Mermaids
Age:
Youth and adults
Genre:
Talkshow, Dance, Dance theater
IN SHORT: During this FRESH, Midnight Mermaids warmly invites you to a powerful evening of community, connection, and conversation about the ballroom scene. With a cookout, talk, and open vogue session.
What does love look like in the ballroom scene? When do we feel seen, valued, and loved – and by whom? Is validation the same as love, or is there a deeper difference?
This community talk dives into these questions and more. With a love cookout & an open session at the end. Join us for an intimate and honest gathering where leaders, icons, and respected voices from the ballroom community share their personal perspectives. Together, we’ll explore how love, validation, and recognition are experienced both in our private lives and within the ballroom itself. Whether you’re a long-time member of the community or just stepping into the scene, this evening is for anyone who wants to reflect, connect, and be inspired. Come speak. Come listen. Come feel.
