Love is the Message Kiki

‍

Vogue beats were, and continue to be, heavily influenced by House and Electronic music. Love is the Message by MFSB (1974), was a staple of ‘70s dance floors, including New York’s downtown party scene and became the defining anthem of classic Old Way vogue. 

‍

For the LOVE IS THE MESSAGE KIKI, we are bringing you back to the classic era of ballroom. The kiki also comes with an important message: let’s spread love!

‍

Bring it in the colors PINK and RED. ❤️🩷

‍

Want to spend more time with the community? We have a fab afternoon program as well. Take a New Way workshop by the Legendary Sattva 007 all the way from London, join a panel talk discussion about community care, consent and safety, and a free community dinner, before the ball starts.
