Find your place here. The Living Room is home for all houses (and free agents *007*). Founded by Legendary Mother Amber Juicy Vineyard, for queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming beings, this is where you come to dive into ballroom culture, sharpen your tools, and practice the craft. Not sure where to start? We begin where you are.

Here, ballroom is more than categories. It’s about telling your body’s story on your terms, carrying the foundations, and last but not least, finding your people. Whether you’re walking into your first class or preparing for battle – you’re in community.

What we offer:
Ballroom 101 – Your introduction to the categories and the roots they come from.

Runway – The floor is yours – Learning to walk through the world like you belong exactly where you are. Come work the floor!

Sex Siren – Own your sexual energy, tap in and battle it out. Note: Leave your virginity at the door! *wink *wink

Vogue Fem (Intermediate) – Storytelling through the body. Soft and c*nt, dramatic. Come play between your elements!

Old Way (All Levels) – Precision. Lines, angles, popping, dipping, spinning: Learn to carry the foundations.

This is a learning place. A healing place. A space we make together. Whatever you’re bringing: curiosity, hunger, fear, fire – bring it. This space is for us. If you’re here to learn, grow and respect that, you’re welcome in the Living Room.
