1 uur 30 min. Maaspodium
Rotterdam

IN SHORT: the workshop welcomes anyone interested in exploring femininity as an energy, form of expression, and movement practice. Whether you have experience in dance, ballroom culture, performance, or no movement background at all, this space is designed to be accessible, reflective, and inclusive. No prior experience is required. Come as you are and dress as you want

MAAS PRIDE: Maas celebrates Pride and acknowledges that Pride is more than a celebration, it is a protest. Read more here about the origins of the Pride is a Protest movement, rooted in the Stonewall Riots in New York City in 1969, which marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement.

Just a Touch of Feminine Energy

Just a Touch of Feminine Energy is a movement-based workshop inspired by the expressive qualities of femininity and the influence of Ballroom Culture. Through movement, conversation, reflection, and exploration, participants are invited to connect with femininity as an energy rather than a gender.

What is FemX?

FemX is inspired by Vogue Fem, but it is not Vogue Fem. Vogue Fem is a movement form with its own history, technique, and language within Ballroom Culture. FemX draws inspiration from qualities such as confidence, fluidity, softness, sensuality, presence, and self-expression, while creating space for people to explore femininity in a way that feels authentic to them.

The Workshop

This workshop is not about mastering a ballroom category. It is about exploring your relationship with femininity through movement and discovering how this energy exists within your body.

Not everyone practices Vogue Fem. Not everyone expresses femininity in the same way. But everyone has the ability to explore it.

This is not about becoming someone else. It is about discovering and expressing a part of yourself that may already be there. No previous experience is required. Come as you are and wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Join us in embracing your body through a feminine lens and exploring how to move in a way that feels authentic, natural, and true to you.

Over de workshop

FEMININITY BEYOND GENDER

FemX is not about gender. Femininity is not exclusive to women, nor is it defined by how someone identifies. To us, femininity is an energy. A language. A way of moving, feeling, expressing, connecting, and being present in the world.

It lives in softness and strength. In vulnerability and confidence. In elegance and power. In care and sensuality.

Everyone has access to this energy in their own way. Some express it boldly, while others embody it more subtly. Neither is more or less valuable. FemX invites participants to explore femininity free from judgment, expectations, or limitations.

WHAT WE EXPLORE

  • Posing
  • Walking
  • Touch
  • Voguing
  • Expression
  • Presence
  • Confidence
  • Sensuality
  • Embodiment

Whether it becomes visible through the way you walk, pose, move your hands, or take up space, we want to see femininity interpreted through your own unique lens.

QUESTIONS WE ASK

  • What does femininity mean to you?
  • How do you express femininity in your everyday life?
  • Where does your understanding of femininity come from?
  • Why do so many people conform to societal ideas of femininity?
  • What happens when we define femininity on our own terms?
  • Can femininity exist beyond gender?
  • How does feminine energy feel in your body?
