WHAT IS BALLROOM?Ballroom culture, also known as “Ball” culture, originated in the 1980s as a powerful underground movement within New York’s Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities. It was a radical response to exclusion, offering a space to be seen, to compete, to express, and to belong. Today, ballroom is a global celebration of identity, resilience, and artistry, where participants “walk” in categories ranging from fashion to performance, vying for trophies, recognition, and community pride.

WHO IS THIS FOR?LEGACY is for everyone. We welcome queer and trans individuals, women, femme-presenting folks, and our straight allies. Whether you walk a category, cheer from the sidelines, or live your best life on the dance floor at the afterparty, you belong here.

ABOUT LEGACYLEGACY is a bold and beautiful love letter to the late Kirvan Fortuin, also known as Kirvan Le Cap, the founding mother of the House of Le Cap. Co-created by Rori Bingham, a ballroom consultant and pillar in the local scene, and Edition Events, producers of LEGACY, this series of 12 events was envisioned as a safe, joyful, and affirming space for Cape Town’s trans- feminine and gender non-conforming communities.

Built on three guiding pillars:To celebrate and remember Kirvan Le Cap’s visionary legacyTo honour the evolving journey of the House of Le CapTo nurture and expand Cape Town’s ballroom community

LEGACY is more than an event; it is a living archive of our history, a celebration of who we are, and a bold vision for where we’re going.
