TENS Across the Board - The Documentary

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.
