Destination Tomorrow’s Lilac Ball

When Destination Tomorrow, the sole LGBTQ+ center in the South Bronx, held its annual Lilac Ball at La Central YMCA, voguing was definitely in vogue. The ball honors Spirit Day, an annual anti-bullying and LGBTQ awareness day.

“I think that’s a part of the ballroom community’s inception, just anti-bullying,” said Ciara Louboutin, a vogue dancer from the Bronx. “It’s all in the spirit of ballroom.”

Louboutin was crowned the ball’s Supreme Grand Prize winner, taking home $1,000 in prize money.

Other dancers strutted down the runway with signs that memorialized O’Shae Sibley, a 28-year-old gay man who was stabbed to death by a homophobic teen for vogue dancing in late July.  Their message:  End LGBTQ violence now.
