We Dance. We Resist.

Ballroom Culture is more than Madonna or Vogue Magazine. While it’s striking a pose it’s also striking social oppression and creating liberation. Ballroom Culture is a community of people who created an act of peaceful resistance, social oppression and identity rejection. Whether you know all about it, or none at all, listen as Hostion shares a window in a community that creates home, belonging and life-giving resistance. We yearn for these things. And sometimes the places and communities we're born into don't provide it and we may be alone. But what if resilience, liberation and inclusion were found in the places we never thought to look? What if a chosen home and a chosen community can help us embrace ourselves fully? It was possible then and it's possible now.Let us know what you think of this episode!
