🌟 What is Ballroom?

The underground ballroom scene originated in the 1920s Harlem, NYC, crafted by Black and Latin trans women and drags seeking a safe haven from systemic racism. Over time, it blossomed into a vibrant community for all queer individuals of color, fostering self-expression and creativity absent from mainstream society. Houses exist as familial units within ballroom, competing together and supporting one another.
