Ballroom culture originated in the 1980s in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, created by marginalized LGBTQ individuals, specifically black and Latinx gay and transgender men and women. In a society that often excluded LGBTQ communities, they decided to create their own safe space where they could express their true selves. Ballroom provided them with a loving and secure environment to showcase their inner beauty and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancer KenKen Elle founded Voguing Hong Kong, dedicated to promoting local Vogue dance and Ballroom culture. Through Voguing, they aim to help more people embrace their true selves, unleash their individuality, and regain personal confidence and charm. KenKen Elle once shared, “The beauty of diversity stems from its capacity to empower individuals to express their authentic selves..”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Ballroom, regardless of your attributes, gender, or identity, everyone is welcome to participate in competitions and shine their light. In November, the BBLOD editors had the privilege of attending the Halloween event organized by Voguing Hong Kong called HAPPY HALLOWEEN KIKI BALL, where they experienced Voguing and Ballroom culture firsthand. Ballroom competitions are divided into various categories, and they noticed the term “OTA ” used in many categories, which stands for “Open to all genders\/sexualities,” indicating that anyone of any sexual orientation can participate. This is a common term used in Ballroom competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holie, a Hong Kong Ballroom Trailblazer who has been organizing Ballroom events for several years, initially faced certain challenges when introducing Ballroom to Hong Kong. They explained that the Ballroom is a process of self-discovery and self-awareness for everyone. Starting in 2017, Holie and KenKen began organizing Balls in Hong Kong. Due to the different rules compared to mainstream dance competitions, especially with numerous categories, it took time to educate people on how to participate and understand the competition rules and various categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the Ballroom community has grown larger, with more people joining this family and being captivated by the energy of the community. They are increasingly enjoying Ballroom competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Voguing has gained increasing recognition, thanks to the efforts of VoguingHK founder KenKen, and has become a highlight in the Ballroom scene. Originating from imitating the poses of models on Vogue magazine covers, Voguing is a dance style that focuses on continuous posing. Madonna’s 1990 single “Vogue” is considered a representative work of Ballroom culture. Other dance competitions in this genre include Old Way, New Way, and Vogue Femme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unleashing the Allure of Sexiness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the categories we will explore is the Sex Siren. Sex Siren falls under the Beauty category and is derived from the original categories of body, face, and siren. The emphasis is on showcasing sexiness and the seductive charm of the body, arousing desire in the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to other categories in Ballroom, Sex Siren will be judged by a panel of judges. Each participant will showcase their unique sexiness and allure, aiming to captivate the judges and earn high scores. In the preliminary round, when a judge raises their hand to signal “Tens,” it represents the highest score of 10 points, while “Chop” indicates the lowest score of zero. While it may seem easy to showcase sexiness, it takes a combination of beauty, personal flair, and individuality to successfully impress the judges and become the Sex Siren champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
