Storyline:

Ballroom culture is now a mainstay in popular culture. Not to be confused with waltzing, swinging, or doing the two-step, ballroom has become a global phenomena.

It’s championed by Black and brown LGBTQ artists in dance, music, and fashion. We take an in-depth look at the lives of those in the St. Louis, MO ballroom community and the performers of the TENS Experience, spearheaded by Maven Logik Lee.

Bobby “Broady” Best | Film Director

As a self-described “Human Documentarian,” showcasing tales of resilience, individualism, and self-actualization interests him both professionally and personally.

"A project is a success in my eyes when not only have I learned about the subject, but when I've also discovered something new about myself."

"...this is sustenance for me."
-Broady
