18:00 - 19:00: Community dinner‍

You'll be hungry after the workshops, so dinner’s on us! Sit down, eat together and catch up with your people.

‍

‍19:00 - 22:00: Mini Kiki

‍We heard you: let kiki's be kiki's! So that's exactly what this is. A playful kiki function where we go back to the essence of having fun. Judges, MC and DJ are to be announced soon.

‍

All activities of the day will run on the schedule above. No ballroom time zone!

‍

Dress code: Bring it with a splash of color!

Pair your fit with something colorful. Think bright pink shoes, baby blue tie, green sunglasses, colorful makeup, etc. We want to welcome Spring with a bang.
