'Through voguing, I learned to be myself. I learned to love my flaws as well as my gifts,' says ballroom legend Leiomy Maldonado.
about her experience in ballroom during an interview in the Dream House. Founder of the House of Amazon, Leiomy, aka the Wonder Woman of Vogue, changed the game when she ushered in her infamous dramatic vogue style in the early 2000s."Through voguing, I learned to be myself. I learned to love my flaws as well as my gifts," Leiomy says.
With access to more information and support readily available, Leiomy is looking forward to exploring and reimagining ballroom culture and its traditions in innovative ways. "I'm excited to throw an event or a dance class to teach people how to vogue in the Metaverse. It's a place where it's fun," she says. "You can be who you want to be in this Metaverse.
As more people find their way to the community online, ballroom's message still translates IRL, too. "Ballroom has something to say to the world, and it has a lot to teach the world about self-worth, self-expression, community organizing, gender, sexuality, art and design, performance, healing, and justice," Twiggy says. Lucky for us all, social media has given us a front-row seat to what's to come.
