She is one of Toronto’s most bookable Drag Queens and has performed in the US\, Brazil\, Malaysia\, and all over Mexico. She has also gained the attention of RuPaul himself. \n  \nGuest instructors include Priyanka who is the winner of Canada’s Drag Race Canada and agreed to teach the class right after the filming wrapped for Season one. \n  \nOther guest mentors include Kiara\, Miss Fiercalicious who are contestants of Canada’s Drag Race and resident choreographer Hollywood Jade. \n  \nThe Masterclass’s success is due to it being a safe and welcoming space to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community where they saw familiar faces of people who hold merit in the entertainment industry and the 2SLGBTIA+ community. \n  \nMoreover\, participants had access to professional training\, a welcoming space\, other youth with common interests with whom they were able to make meaningful connections with\, food\, TTC tokens\, and tangible resources like a professional photoshoot and make-up that they could use to further develop their craft and entrepreneurship. \n  \nThe Drag Masterclass has been sponsored by M.A.C Cosmetics\, NYX Cosmetics\, Jean-Luc Cosmetics\, Black CAP\, Woody’s on Church\, The Well and supported by Pride Toronto. \n  \nThe masterclass is revolutionary as it has proven to break down barriers to participation in recreation programs. \n  \nIt is the first recreational Drag Masterclass program of its kind in North America. \n  \nKiki Ballroom Program Information \nThis Kiki Ball is a part of the City of Toronto’s first Kiki Ballroom program which responds to the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Action Plan Action Item 2.1 “Consult on and invest in meeting the specific needs and aspirations of black queer and trans youth by providing black queer and trans youth with opportunities to learn about ballroom culture and connect with their community through the Enhanced Youth Spaces. This program builds on the highly successful Drag Masterclass program and will provide new opportunities for youth across the city\, not just in the downtown core. \n  \nThe Kiki Ballroom program offers Learn to Vogue Workshops where youth can learn the elements of vogue\, Open House Practices where you get to practice Ballroom categories\, and Kiki Balls where you can see it all come together at a fierce competition! \n  \nI n March 2023 the Kiki Ballroom Program won the Access and Equity Award at the Parks & Recreation Ontario conference. The City of Toronto and the Toronto Kiki Ballroom Alliance were recognized for championing equitable access to parks and recreation services through advocacy\, infrastructure\, and/or programming. The Kiki Ballroom Program demonstrated improved access for the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. \n  \nThe next Kiki Ball will be hosted at Canoe Landing Community Centre on December 16th\, 2023 and doors open at 4:00pm. We hope to see you there! \n  \nFor more programming information and locations please email kikiballroomprogram@toronto.ca. \n
