Grab your pearls and clutch your cocktails — we’re back in the Big Easy for STRUT: Mardi Gras at ARORA, starring the one and only DETOX from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

STRUT is a 12-year-strong national dance rebellion — a love letter to every LGBTQIA+ soul and ally. Born in NYC, now 15 cities deep and counting, we turn dance floors into sanctuaries, second lines and full-blown joy riots. This is Mardi Gras energy with purpose: loud music, chosen family, sweat, sequins and release. Come loud. Come proud. Come ready to leave it all on the floor.
