Welcome to the 2nd Annual House Ballroom Team Initiative
#1Ballroom
The House Ballroom community has been highly affected by the epidemic of HIV since the late 80’s. Year after year many locals walk GMHC’s annual NYC Aids Walk to support those who are living with or have left us due to complications, stigma, or stresses of HIV/AIDs. Individuals of our community have walked with their perspective houses, friends, families, or jobs, yet have we never walked as a collective unit to represent our subculture as a whole. In 2015, with 75 participants shining light on this initiative we embarked on bringing together our community for the 1st time in history. This year we are here to continue this new found Ballroom tradition. This year we continue to work on unifying our efforts to support our community’s kinship as a unit.
This year we look to expand on the experience so we have so much more in store for you all…. Stay Tuned
