In the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, the Ballroom culture is thriving. In some ways a fashion show, in some a beauty pageant, in some a dance performance and in some a war. Ballroom is not for the weak of heart. However, it is a also a space for primarily queer and non-white people, a respite from a society that doesn’t fully accept them. This is Ballroom is a glimpse into Rio de Janeiro’s unique Ballroom scene and House culture.
