CONGRATULATIONS FATHER FANG COVEN AUCOIN.

Thank you for your years of service to the community and your commitment to the culture of ballroom. You continue to inspire so many with your enduring legacy in Butch Queen Performance, and outstanding contributions to the legacy of Ballroom Aotearoa!!!

Yesterday we met with the AKL Museum to discuss archiving our collection. We're relieved to learn there's also an emphasis on ephemera. We've generated so much of it as part of the public facing side of our community driven practice. Happy to know it too can live on in the archives.

Over the next couple weeks we'll be posting some milestones from our decade long practice. It's been some time since the collective was active on social media. We're keen to get re-acquainted with our online community. Feel free to ask us any questions 🙂☺️
