Ballroom

Ballroom culture has been a part of underground gay and transgender America since the 1960s, with the subculture being first brought to mainstream attention with the 1991 film Paris Is Burning. At balls, drag and non-drag performers perform and compete before a panel of judges, often with a heavily stylised form of dancing based around modelling poses known as voguing. The music played at balls, as shown in the film, was and is mostly disco and house.
