Paris, France | Paris, IL
The first European Latexxx Ball ( The ELB) is finally happening in Paris and for its first edition named THE ORIGINALS , the ball and categories center on the investments of some people that made a category alive , forced the community to open a category or represented the European ballroom scene abroad … impossible to name everybody in all of the categories but the sense that Europeans brought their own flavors to ballroom is undoubtedly what make the beauty of this sceneThe European Latexxx Ball is inspired by GMHC’s Latex Ball which is the largest annual event of the international House & Ball community.
All the people named in their categories get to walk without having to get their 10´s and will be able to pick who the wanna battle until the get eliminated or win
This ball has a 2 chops rule : which means 2 different judges in the panel need to chop you for you to be eliminated ( chopped ) except if you are chopped by a Legend for their category
Europe as a ballroom scene has nothing to prove no more and it is time for us to stand on our grounds and give ourselves a good pat on the shoulder … Let’s have Ball , Let’s have fun and note that the ELB is once every two years …
