Consider this your invitation to the Vogue Rites ball

The Vogue Rites grassroots Ballroom collective is hosting an open-air Vogue Ball in the courtyard of the prominent Somerset House arts centre.

Voguing is a competitive art form that's inspired by fashion model poses and is an integral part of LGTBQIA+ ballroom culture and the queer community. Celebrating global Vogue culture, the Power Ball at Somerset House will feature local and international performers walking the runway and competing in an extravagant show blending fashion, dance, and music.

The Power Ball will be held at Somerset House on 12 August, starting at 5 PM. Find out more about the event and the historical importance of Ballroom culture and Voguing here.
