Emerging in Harlem during the late 1960s and 1970s, the ballroom community was created by Black and Latine queer people who faced racism within established drag pageants. Led by trans icons like Crystal LaBeija, ballroom evolved into a highly structured subculture where participants "walked" in various categories to compete for trophies. The House System
