A brief history on ball culture...

Ball culture emerged in the 1920s in and around New York City, Harlem more specifically said to be the birth place of the underground ballroom scene. Primarily LGBTQ+ African Americans and Latinos began to organize masquerade balls known as "drags" in defiance of laws which banned individuals from wearing clothes associated with the opposite gender. Attendees dance, vogue, walk, pose, and support one another in numerous drag and performance competition categories where participants "walk" for prizes and trophies on behalf of their houses.

Houses serve as alternative families, primarily consisting of Black and Latino LGBTQ individuals, and are meant to provide shelter, solace and safety for those who have often been kicked out of their original homes due to being LGBTQ. Modern ballroom culture has existed for at least five decades. It remains largely underground and unknown for this particular community of Black and Latino queer youth and has now expanded rapidly to other major cities.

No Refunds Allowed. All ticket sales are final.
