Beyoncé is teaming up with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, to present a celebration of ballroom culture.

The BeyGOOD Foundation, Beyoncé’s public charity, is supporting Beeline Productions and the Shady Gang to bring authentic ballroom culture to Las Vegas on August 27 with the Equality Ball at the Palms Casino Resort.

Queer people of color, especially transgender Black and Brown pageant performers, established ballroom culture as a progressive and innovative community kickstarted in the 1970s in New York City.

The Equality Ball offers individuals a safe environment to exhibit their artistic abilities.

The event will celebrate expression and inclusion by showcasing fashion, style, pose, poise, grace, and various creative talents, a press release announcing the event states.

In addition to showcasing the legendary House of Basquiat and the newly formed KiKi House of FUBU, the ball will showcase professional choreographers and dancers.

Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson, who will attend, told The Advocate why she looks forward to the soirée.

“The Equality Ball is going to be a celebration of Black and Brown queer life,” Robinson said. “The folks at Beeline and Shady Gang have a powerful vision for bringing the joy, the strength, the resilience of our community to center stage,

and I’m proud that HRC is working alongside these incredible artists. I’m also deeply appreciative of the BeyGOOD Foundation’s support for the event, which will include a range of services for the community in Las Vegas.”
