‘“Being able to bring the kids to a family oriented vogue ball that is enriched and highlights the LGBT+ community, especially the impact the black LGBT+ community have in the world and today’s society, showing them the freedom, expression and strength it truly takes. Vogue is so much more than steps, it’s a way of life for people and gave a lot of people who were pushed out from a society, a place in the world and for someone who has attended and competed in balls and seen the diversity, open mindedness and love that is enriched within the ballroom culture and being able for the kids to get a glimpse into something that has changed so many people’s lives, was amazing” Audience member
“Such a stunning, positive and joyful show! Half an hour of pure,electric energy.Beautiful, mesmerising dance and fabulous costumes from the 4 Divas & Compere (Stuart) who had audience absolutely hooked: so funny – loved his insane “shade throwing” quips, yet so thoughtful and appreciative of the kids and parents “positive affirmation” of all our individuality. Impeccably rehearsed and every inch of the Studio space engaged.Loved it. Everyone toddlers to Grandparents left on a high “Audience member

It was incredible, the show was spectacular. I will never forget it. LGBTQ+ for life!!!
