WHAT IS BALLROOM?
The underground ballroom scene has it roots as far back as to the 1920 in Harlem, New York and was created by Black and Latin Trans women and Drags, as a new safe space due to racism they faced within the white pageant scene. It evolved into many new categories and became not only a space for trans women of colour to enjoy the safeties of community but of all queer people of colour to create and ex- press what was not allowed at the time to express in the public. Houses are families within ballroom that not only works like families, but also competes together at ballroom functions. The houses has different names and is a fundamental part of ballroom culture.
