What is Ballroom?
Ballroom was created by black and latin trans women back in Harlem, New York in the late 1960s, due to racism they faced within the white pageant scene. Ballroom is an underground subculture by and for the BIPOC LGBTQ+ community and it is a competition where participants walk different categories in beauty, sex, fashion and performance. If you are not from the community, please be considerate of the space you take up. If you want to take part, it's a good idea to learn about the different categories first. If you have any questions, please contact the organiser and they will help you. No sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, body shaming or any kind of discrimination.
Ballroom Vocabulary:
LSS: Legends, stars & statements

FQ: (fem queen): trans woman
