SUMMARY:Our House: Ballroom Culture & Education
LOCATION:Dance for All
DESCRIPTION:Our House\nKom Kuier by Os Huis!Our House is a collaborative in
 itiative by Cheshire Vineyard and Zoey Black\, dedicated to building the e
 ducational infrastructure necessary for Ballroom culture to evolve and flo
 urish across Cape Town and the African continent. We hosts weekly classes 
 focused on Ballroom 101\, Vogue Femme\, Old Way\, Runway\, and Sex Siren. 
 We engage with Ballroom history and queer ancestry\, building the confiden
 ce\, autonomy\, discipline\, and healing necessary to navigate this world.
  As a community-centred initiative\, we partner with those who share our v
 alues and want to contribute positively to the impact and sustainability o
 f the programme. At Our House\, we are building the self-efficacy and resi
 lience necessary to thrive abundantly.\n\nOur Classroom\nBallroom 101This 
 staple introductory class to the fundamentals of ballroom culture and danc
 e\, focusing on history\, culture\, technique\, styles and categories. Thr
 ough cultivating a supportive environment\, this class is designed for all
  levels and genders to build confidence\, knowledge\, and find community w
 ithin the larger Ballroom scene. \nVogue FemmeThis dance class teaches the
  five key elements (Hand Performance\, Catwalk\, Duckwalk\, Floor Performa
 nce\, and Spins &amp\; Dips) through understanding the deeper\, emotional
 \, and historical context of the movement and performance. This class buil
 ds confidence and skill for both beginner levels and competitive performan
 ce.\nOld WayThis class teaches the foundational ballroom performance style
  originating in the 1960s\, focusing on precision\, symmetry\, and grace. 
 It emphasises angular poses inspired by fashion magazines\, martial arts\,
  and hieroglyphs. Open to all levels.\nRunwayTeaching two schools of walki
 ng\, All-American Runway (masculine\, sharp) and European Runway (feminine
 \, expressive)\, this class is focused on elements like strutting\, hip mo
 vement\, selling a look\, and modelling with storytelling. This class is o
 pen to all levels and genders\, building a powerful presence on the runway
 . \nSex SirenThis embodied sex and sensuality class is focussed on sensual
  self-expression\, confidence\, and performance\, utilising movement\, bod
 y confidence\, and sexual energy. This class is for all levels and genders
 \, emphasising safety and autonomy\n\nDiscounted and Sponsored Tickets\nWe
  acknowledge the importance of fostering diverse and inclusive spaces and 
 events that reflect the queer community we serve. We recognise the histori
 cal and ongoing systemic economic disadvantages faced by queer people of c
 olour\, specifically trans\, non-binary\, gender-queer\, and femme POC. As
  such\, we have made a limited amount discounted and sponsored tickets ava
 ilable for those who cannot afford the full ticket price and/or are having
  transportation difficulties. If you feel you fall into this category and 
 would like to attend class\, please contact us directly and we will assist
 .\n\nCommunity Safety Policy\nAt Our House\, we recognise that for trans a
 nd queer people and communities in South Africa\, "safety" is often a priv
 ilege\, not a guarantee. The body has frequently been a site of policing\,
  violence\, and extraction. Therefore\, our policies on safety and account
 ability are a practice of care. This policy applies to all Our House activ
 ities and event\, including the Culture and Education Programmes (Classes 
 and Workshops) and Events (Balls and Functions). It is binding for all org

 ccordance with the rules and protocols laid out in our policy. The full po
 licy can be accessed here.\n\nTerms and Conditions\nFor the purposes of im

 ogrammes are benefitting our community\, and to contribute to Our House's
