Pride Memories: Late night dance offs

Western Australia’s LGBTIQ community organisation Pride WA is celebrating their 25th anniversary.

The ‘Silver City’ themed PrideFEST began last night and there’s a stack of event running over the next sixteen days. The highlight will be the Pride Parade through the streets of Northbridge in a fortnight.

We asked a bunch of people for their favourite Pride memory. Connection’s resident DJ Cinnamon had a stack of great stories, (but we could not put many of them in print) – so here’s Cinnamon’s favourite M rated memory.

Cinnamon

“My most M-rated memory of Pride would have to be the 2002 dance-off between rival silly friend gangs.

“My group of friends, who called themselves ‘Team Messy’ and wore their skull hand screen printed t-shirts for their scheduled dance-off to Missy Elliott’s ‘4 My People’ at 3am in the alternative room against another group of friends, ‘Northbridge Massive’.

“It was also the first Pride I ever DJ’d at. The 3am dance-off was hilarious, with both groups lined up against each other in their dueling t-shirts. Team Messy took out the honours with their carefully choreographed routine.”
