Gloria! Kabarett is a magical event hosted by London Dance Academy on the 7th of August 2021. We are hosting at a legendary venue in Central London. It is part of a series of celebrations that we organise to reinforce our support and love for our LBGTQIA+ community. Last year you voted our digital festival as one of the most uplifting moments from the LGBTQIA+ community in 2020 through the Press Association. We hope to repeat Gloria’s success and honour this year.
Moulin Rouge meets Berlin Kabarett
London Dance Academy’s approach to events is to keep them as authentic as possible, showcasing the Performing Arts and new talent across the board. This year’s event will be a riotous evening of immersive performances, combining Moulin Rouge’s burlesque climate and Berlin Kabarett’s enchanting feel. For arriving guests, the night will start off with a drink at the Aerial Circus bar; guests will then be invited to take a seat at their private tables and watch the breathtaking Kabarett acts whilst indulging in a tapas dinner.
Melissa Gray on supporting our community
“The last 2 years have been incredibly challenging for the performing arts. I have been blessed to be involved in physical performance my entire adult life and feel a strong desire to directly support our community” said Melissa Gray, Founder and CEO of London Dance Academy. “Inclusivity and diversity are not just words to us – they have always been part of our core values.
Since 2005, London Dance Academy has taught over 80,000 people and provided work for hundreds of freelance practitioners. Our Gloria! Digital Pride Festival 2020 provided work for over 90 artists. This year it’s our 16th Birthday. And, with the support of Arts Council England, we are proud to be able to continue to offer work to over 100 artists and freelancers through Gloria! Kabarett alone. This is an event to show our continued support to the performing arts and our exceptional community. I make Art because Art made me.”

Our event is hosted by the Bougie Girls: Honey the Foxx, Cara Melle, also featuring Diamond Daniels & Kiki Snatch – the most regal comperes in the UK.
