About The Living Room The Living Room is a home for all Houses, founded in 2015 by Mother Amber Vineyard, where queer, trans and gender non-conforming young people can feel accepted, valued and empowered. A nurturing environment for the Dutch Ballroom scene, a learning place where the queer community can feel at home, but also find social support, develop their individual talents and get the tools they need to navigate the world with resilience. NOTE These workshops are Open to all genders and identities. It is important to know that our Ball community takes a firm stance AGAINST racism, transphobia, sexism, queerphobia, ageism, ableism, body shaming, classism or any form of discrimination. We stand for equality, inclusivity, creativity, participation, learning, creating new experiences and above all, LOVE. Some may know about Vogue through Madonna, but the Ballroom Scene was created by and for African-American and Latinx LBGTQ+ communities, notably trans women and gay men, in Harlem, New York. All visitors/participants/guests will respect and celebrate the Ballroom culture and its roots. If you are not from this community - as a white and/or straight ally - know that you are welcome. We only ask you to be mindful of the space you take up and to respect the participants and their space.
