BubbleGum 007 + Fiji Siriano 007
With training in singing, dancing, and most recently acting, BubbleGum 007 loves to bring a multidisciplinary approach to his work. He often says that the different mediums used to express himself inform one another. After attending his first ball in June 2021 and winning in the category BODY at his second ball, BubbleGum joined the now-defunct Kiki House of Lust (HoL) in August 2021. While being a member of the HoL, he learned to hone his craft and develop a style that resonated more with his personality and essence. A voyage to New York, the birthplace of ballroom, allowed him to fully immerse himself into the culture and attend multiple balls and classes taught by the Icon Arturo Miyake-Mugler. Following the HoL's disbandment in 2023, he remains active in the scene. Outside the Montreal ballroom scene, you can see him in various plays from the Montreal School of Performing Arts.
Fiji has been in the ballroom scene since 2019 after joining the Supreme Kiki House of Christian Siriano that same year and has walked performance categories in Montreal and Toronto and is now a pioneer in the up and coming ballroom scene in Ottawa where she lives and is spending her time to build it from the ground up with the support of the ballroom community.

Vogue Femme Workshop
Vogue Fem, at its heart, is a celebration of femininity. This style of vogue (which is distinct from Old Way or New Way) focuses on the expression of femininity through the five elements: catwalk, duckwalk, floor performance, hand performance and spins and dips. In this workshop, you will delve deeper into each element of vogue after a succinct history lesson, to understand the history and significance behind each motion. Beyond the fundamentals, you'll also explore other essential elements of Vogue Fem, such as musicality and personal essence. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a beginner, you are welcome to join us!
