The Prairie Kiki Ball

For the first time in Saskatoon's history, Ballroom takes the Saskatchewan Prairies.

The Prairie Ball is a Pride Month Ballroom celebration of what makes the Prairies special. Inspired by Saskatchewan's beautiful landscapes and, most importantly, its people, this historic event honours prairie pride and Sask Ballroom's year-long programming and mission to bring Ballroom to Saskatchewan.

Get ready and prepare to walk your category because Saskatchewan, YOU ARE NOW!

Virgin Runway The Bunnyhug — a Saskatchewan colloquial term for the pullover or hooded sweatshirt. We want to see you walk up and down, straight line, pose, with ANY BUNNYHUG that makes you feel fab. Virgin categories are for those who have NEVER WALKED a BALL before.

Virgin Performance Baby it's mother f$?!'n cold outside — bring it in any warm FLANNEL and carry with your 5 elements: Hands, Catwalk, Duckwalk, Spins/Dips and Floor Performance. Virgin categories are for those who have NEVER WALKED a BALL before.

Commentator Newsflash — there's a rainstorm headed your way. Report the WEATHER to the judges to get your tens.

Bizarre Saskatchewan Water Creatures: in honour of our beautiful rivers and lakes, bring a BIZARRE creature effect inspired by Beavers, Pike, Duck, Lake Trout, Frog and/or Turtle. Bizarre note: we must not be able to distinguish your body from your effect. We should not know there is a HUMAN in your effect — or only part human.

OTA Body You spent too much time out in the SUN, and now you have a visible FARMER'S TAN. Come show off your hard-earned, harsh-lined tanned body.

Hands Performance Tell us your HORTICULTURAL story with a Spring Gardener effect. Must come with gardening gloves.

OTA Realness The most anticipated event in the prairies, the CALGARY STAMPEDE, is a moment for all the realest ones to walk around. Bring it as a Calgary Stampede spectator, worker or performer.

OTA Face Prom season is upon us, and there's love in the air. The title of prom king, queen or thing is up for grabs. Show up to the prom with your beautiful face and mesmerize the judges with a CROWN.

OTA Best Dressed The Prairie flora remind us of the beauty that comes from our long winters, reminding us to bloom beautifully into the spring. Bring your BEST DRESSED in a FLORA-INSPIRED effect using the local Crocus and Lily.

OTA Runway –40 Blizzard: it's a snowy day, 3 metres of snow has dropped on the Prairies, but that never stopped you. Come strut in an outfit that incorporates WINTER GEAR(S) and get your tens.

OTA Performance Fall is upon us, the ducks have started migrating and it's time to hunt. Come in a CAMO effect, carry your 5 elements and get your tens.
