Roanoke, Virginia – Fashionista Roanoke is kicking off Pride Month with a big party featuring dancers from New York City’s International House of Ninja.
The fun starts at 5 p.m. on June 2 at the Taubman Museum of Art. Guests will get to see lots of different performances and wild fashion designs.
The reason for the event, according to Fashionista Roanoke, is to show support for local LGBTQ+ teachers and the Ballroom community, both of whom are facing challenges right now.
The party is for people who are 18 and older. If you want to attend, you need to register ahead of time. Tickets cost $15 for museum members and $20 for others. If you buy your ticket on the day of the event, it will cost $25. Every ticket comes with a free drink. You can buy tickets online.
After the performances, everyone is invited to hang out with the House of Ninja dancers in the Pine Room Bar from 9-11 p.m.
House of Ninja is a dance group that’s famous for their “voguing” performances. This style of dance comes from New York City’s ballroom culture, which has been a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community to express themselves for many years.
