Portland’s growing ballroom community adds another event to the calendar with the first installment of the PDXBall. Head to Old Town Sunday night for a full fashion ball with categories open to all.

Then it will be Vogue, where people spin, dip, duckwalk, catwalk, and showcase hand and floor performance.” Watch the skilled judges Daniel Girón (Father of House of Ada), Keelan Johnson (Mother of Mallicious Allure), and Jared Chung (Fine China//Mother of House of Flora) wield their power in the sure-to-be-epic event.
