Ballroom was created by black and latin trans women back in Harlem, New York at 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 mindful of the space you take. If you would like to walk/participate, learn and study the categories beforehand. If there are any questions, please contact the organizer and they will help you. No sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, body shaming or any kind of discrimination. The space is accessible with a wheelchair. Ballroom V
