The Ballroom Scene is an underground community that debuted in the early 1930's. From mere drag shows to various categories the Ballroom Scene is seen as an outlet where GLBT Youth (Gay,Bisexual,Lesbian, and Transgender) can escape the hardships of daily life. Today, the Ballroom Scene is now growing into the mainstream circuit while helping with the acknowledgement of various issues that are harmful to the community such as HIV.
MTV's America's Best Dance Crew debuted a GLBT dance crew entitled Vogue Evolution. Vogue Evolution broke barriers by bringing something new to the competition. The group consisted of five individuals who all excelled within the Ballroom Scene which are Prince Milan, Leiyomi Mizrahi, Dashaun Evisu, Malechi Garcon, and Pony Jourdan-Zion. They tried out for the show last season, but didn't make the cut. MTV producers liked their diversity and determination. Thus, they were asked to come back for Season 4.
Vogue Evolution may not have won the competition, but won the hearts of millions. Currently, Vogue Evolution is now a dance company that now tours throughout the United States giving lessons about voguing, the ballroom scene, and life.

Before America's Next Best Dance Crew, I had only seen a few ball dancers, but since the show I have feel in love with Vogue Evolution and the whole ball room scene. I hope to attend a ball one day.
