'I found my family in the LGBTQ+ Ballroom scene'

Not to be confused with traditional ballroom dancing, the Ballroom scene is an LGBTQ+ subculture where competitors gather for walking balls to battle for trophies.

"Let's not get it twisted, it's still a competition. But in this circle you can find your true family," said co-host and dancer Karteer Mugler, who recently performed for FKA Twigs.

At balls, people compete, either solo or as part of a "house", by walking in front of a panel of judges and showcasing different categories such as face, body, runway and voguing - with the latter one of the most popular categories.

Voguing originated in Harlem, New York City, where black and Latin LGBTQ+ communities gathered for balls, which became spaces for "vogue" battles that combined dance with high fashion poses from the famous magazine of the same name.
