LGBTQIA Voguing / Waacking Workshop

Explore queer spaces and movement in this Waacking and Vogue Fem workshop. The workshop is a two-parter that will dive into the world of Waacking and Vogue Fem elements. Two different dance styles with strong roots in the underground queer community that focus on the art of self-expression and are both "larger than life."

The workshop with Ranya will be from 12:30 until 14:30, but doors open at 12:00 .

The workshops are absolutely free, just bring yourself and your clothes to dance in. There are places to change.

About Indigo Flamingo Project 

'Indigo Flamingo' is a project in which Malmö-based choreographer and dancer Gwyn Emberton celebrates the two communities of his (fairly) new home city of Malmö, LGBTQIA+ and dance.

Continuing the project which started in July 2023 with monthly workshops and culminating in the audience darling performance 'Indigo Flamingo' these workshops are a place to hang out, fika, dance, explore queer movement and a space to share experiences of being part of the LGBTQIA+ community in Malmö. Each workshop is led by a queer dance artist in different styles such as belly dance, vogue, Swedish Folk dance and contemporary. 

Indigo Flamingo is a collaboration between Skånes Dansteater and Malmö Pride.
