The Pride Practice Ball

Welcome to the Pride Practice Ball, presented by German Leader Amowia Unbothered Cartier and German Mother Mandhla Laveaux. Featuring a live DJ!

This ball is your space to experiment, grow, and create looks where ballroom elegance meets colorful self-expression. Whether you’ve been training hard or are just getting started in the scene—this is your playground! Or maybe you’re just here to watch.

This night is rooted in the history of ballroom and in the ongoing struggle to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Pride isn’t just a moment or a season—Pride is something that continues to matter, especially now, when visibility and community still need to be protected and defended. This ball creates space for that while honoring the creativity and resilience that define ballroom culture.

Whether you’re walking a ball for the first time or have participated before, get ready to celebrate, connect, and give it your all!
