Orange Era: 2016-2021

The Black, Blue, and Yellow eras did all the walking, so the Orange Era could run. Ballroom is global in its reach and popularized in mainstream culture.

The Orange Era embodied a new sense of being and freedom.

The 2018 hit show, Pose, also reignited mass appeal for ballroom. The series starred queer and trans people of color in the New York ballroom scene—the show was met with critical acclaim  and propelled ballroom to the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist in the Orange era.
