Triangle Tarts
The Triangle Tarts are a semi-official drag appendage of Triangle Squares
History
The Triangle Tarts first appeared as a cohesive group in the early 1990s. Prior to this, two or three dancers agreed in an informal way to dress up in drag for special club dances and events. With time, the Tarts coalesced into a core group of dancers who were agreeing upon themes and colour schemes for their appearances at club dances and events. As Triangle Tarts are an inclusive group, they have welcomed women to the family. A small handful of Tarts have participated in a few of the Honky Tonk Queen Contests at IAGSDC conventions, with a winner in 1992, Carmina Putana. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Tarts danced in demonstration performances at various venues to promote and advertise the club and its classes. Since the 2010’s, The Tarts have marched in Pride Parades in Toronto and Peterborough, and have appeared at Pride festivals in Toronto and Ottawa.
The list shown above are those we remember as having participated as a Tart, either as a core member or as a sometime-Tart.
