An arts & humanities collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the nearly century-old performance-based culture known as ballroom

The Peabody Ballroom Experience is built on partnerships with people, institutions, and initiatives across Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and beyond. Collaborators include the JHU Film & Media Studies program, the Peabody BFA Dance Program, Ballroom Throwbacks Television, and Baltimore-based voguer Icon Marquis Revlon Clanton.

“(Ballroom) gives you opportunities to express yourself artistically…. it gives you opportunities to push the boundaries of who you are. What you can do physically, what your mind can do mentally, it pushes you to a place of, like—‘how did I just do that?’”

—Gray Mizrahi
