The "Ballroom Scene" refers to a vibrant and expressive subculture primarily associated with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly among Black and Latinx individuals. It features competitive dance events where participants showcase their talents in various categories, often through elaborate performances and unique fashion. The scene is known for its emphasis on creativity, self-expression, and community support. Originating in the 1980s, the ballroom scene gained prominence in cities like New York and has been popularized through media, including the documentary "Paris is Burning." It serves as a safe space for marginalized individuals to celebrate their identities and artistry, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
