The Dynasty Ball: Crystal Tokyo

The Dynasty Ball

This year’s ball pays tribute to the pop culture icon Sailor
Moon. It will be a night of glamour and magic.

Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute

The Dynasty Ball is a community event and competition that celebrates the creativity, resourcefulness, and strength of the Ballroom community in the PNW, mostly made up of Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ people. Just as important, it is a public resource fair where organizations share programs that offer services to support and aid marginalized and underserved groups.We launched our first event in 2022 with great fanfare. This year we aim for even greater heights to continue supporting our community. We look forward to the continuation of curating a safe space geared towards QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color) to showcase their talent.Sponsored by:F﻿red Hutch Cancer Research, Playground KiKi, Gay City, HIV Vaccine Trials Unit<h3>I﻿D REQUIRED FOR ENTRY.</h3>Doors Open @ 6:00PMLSS Starts @ 7:00PMBall Ends @ 11:30
