VANCOUVER BALLROOM ARTS SOCIETY…
is a Vancouver based non-profit organization helping to support, build, and nurture the Vogue/Ballroom scene within Vancouver, BC, Canada. By facilitating pay-what-you-can and open-to-all-levels Ballroom education and Vogue classes, VBA seeks to help contribute towards building a culture of Ballroom with the accessibility and safety of the LGBTQIA2S+ BIPOC community at its core.
Bridging Communities Ballroom to Ballroom
In addition to offering weekly classes, VBA organizes and produces functions such as social events, mini balls, and since 2021 our annual POSH BALL in the summer as a celebration of Pride. These balls draw on both international talent and local talent to judge, participate and help nurture the scene.
