Workshops: Grand Marama Ball

In the lead up to The Grand Kiki House of Marama Ball, join us for a night dedicated to the foundations of ballroom, commentating, and Vogue Fem. This is the first time international guest icons and legends will host these workshops in Aotearoa, so you don’t want to miss this opportunity.

Connect, learn, and build community through a series of workshops designed to deepen your understanding of the categories, the essence, and the history that make ballroom what it is. 

Whether you're planning to walk at The Grand Kiki House of Marama Ball, support from the sidelines, or just want to better understand the culture, this workshop is your opportunity to learn directly from those who’ve helped to shape the landscape of Ballroom internationally and here within Aotearoa.

Strictly no heels.
