Under One Roof Kiki Ball is an event for the ballroom community in London to integrate a kiki ball with sexual health and wellbeing outreach within it, hosted by The Love Tank, Idris 007 and Khoriander Bodega. This is a night for all of us to shine, support, and uplift each other without a strong focus on competition and this is a launch event so expect to see more in 2025!
This event is predominantly dedicated to the ballroom community, queer migrants and queer people of colour, creating a space where the community can come together, walk, access vital health resources and kii! Friends and allies are also welcome, but we ask those not from the ballroom community why they are coming? Who are they coming to the space with? And if they are coming, how are they contributing to the space?

At The Love Tank, we work with queer communities in innovative ways to improve health and wellbeing. But did you know that recent data shows STIs continue to impact young people aged 15-24 years, gay, bi, and other men who have sex with men, and some minority ethnic groups the most? 🏳️🌈 Not enough is being done, and we’re here to change that!
In New York and Paris, ballroom culture has long incorporated sexual health outreach - now it’s time for London to do the same! Under One Roof Kiki Ball brings together ballroom excellence with vital health resources, making sure our community thrives both on and off the runway.
