Ballroom Culture: the Language of Vogue | Ronald Murray | TEDxColumbus

[@onlyoldnavy]

When you said you were a social worker I almost cried. You’re one of the few genuine social workers I’ve listened to.

[@arigbabukehinde6951]

Sincerely.

I will never understand how a parent can so easily kick out their child for being themselves.

[@Owl325]

[@tiffanyw3064]

I came out at 59, I lost my parents, spouse, and children. I think it's love, loving the image of the body more than the person. The parents that support their child and go through rejection and condemnation, that is unconditional love, that is loving like God loves.

I've been so depressed lately but this video genuinely interested me and made me feel something, real hope and joy, thank you so much for this talk!

[@BrandynLambert]

This is exactly why I do it

[@arigbabukehinde6951]

wow

[@manjinghennessy3231]

What an amazing show I'm so proud of how far the LGBT community has come from and how much the ballroom culture has helped us 😍😍

[@arigbabukehinde6951]

[@blaykwilliam1885]

Ballroom culture is everything! It has shaped Queer culture today and influenced pop culture in so many ways, that we owe so much respect and admiration to the Houses and the individuals who are Ballroom culture. It brings me joy to see how Ballroom has been showcased in recent years, from Pose to Ballroom vogue legends going on tour with famous musicians and teaching them choreography. Ballroom is international. We have Ballroom houses here in Newcastle, England and I can’t wait until I get to be apart of it in some way. I can dream!

[@sunrope77]

This is one of my favorite Ted talks. The storytelling, the music and dancing, the analysis of their technique - amazing!

[@BenSwagnerd]

Queer POC ted talks deserve way more views than they get! I share this widely 💖

[@jasoncorley5703]

Yes, indeed.

[@BrandynLambert]

THANK YOU!!

My exact thoughts after watching and glancing at the views/likes!!! Totally sharing this with my HS dance students!!!!

There is a fantastic documentary called " Love Is In The Legend" its online. Many years ago i got to see Willie Ninja vogue at a Barbara Tucker party and i'll cherish that memory forever.

[@Shindai]

If I'd discovered this stuff as a confused kid instead of buying into toxic masculinity to compensate, and the injuries incurred from overdoing martial arts and the gym, I'd probably be a much healthier person these days than i am.

[@skepticbat]

underrated comment here at this ted talk lol

[@Etcher]

Reading up on the incredible Paris is Burning documentary brought me here. Really interesting, thank you for this.

Uhhhh the look she gave that gurl, when she messed up the freeze... ! She was like: GURRRRRL!!!!!! @11:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@katherinewoodard6465]

I first Found this on the TED app, but only the audio was working and I couldn’t see the video. I am so glad I found it here on KZbin. It was amazing and thanks so much for making it!

[@arigbabukehinde6951]

wow, so there is an application🤩

[@maryann3253]

Pose brought me here , I didn’t know ballroom scenes exists and I love it

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris9623]

Ballroom is simply being free to be. Its more than just dancing. Look at the art of it. The family of it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯

[@Jazzie654]

2020/2021 it breaks my heart to see how family and people can kick a child out on the streets and not accept a child just because of something they desire in their hearts. It’s not a choice, it’s life, not a way of life but life. I’m so glad the world is changing but we still have a long way to go and I love this story I just heard. Thank You for explaining to those that simply don’t know 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@thewokeabout]

I’m so joyful to realize where one of my favorite expression of dance developed. Never realized it’s roots. Thank you for your introduction to this culture

[@lauren789369]

What an amazing TED talk! So informative and delightful.

[@labelle9921]

What a beautiful and informative presentation! Thank you, Ronald.

[@Auntkekebaby]

Beautiful Ted Talk! MUCH NEEDED!! Preserve the history!

[@lynnedear8830]

What a wonderful story. You bring a child into the world..you are given no guarantees , only the innocence of a baby that need your unconditional love. House and ballroom is what family is all about. Loving guidance form productive people that call you family.

[@Onetalld1984]

This is fantastic Ted Talk. They are explaining how community really shows up to take care of each other when biological family has pretty much disowned you.

[@Blacqlove]

This was awesome but I also wished they showed the old way of voguing as well from Willie Ninja

[@mauve3734]

Blacqlove same I’m trying to study it

[@starlight.genesis]

Old way all the way. 👏❤ I want to learn the old way first before the other styles.

[@cperanda]

Old Way, the only way...

[@jasoncorley5703]

Lol...Yeeees!

[@reavleeful]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing and helping us understand your community.

[@lizziematteri4218]

Thank you for educating me on this subculture❤. The dancers' movements were poety in motion

[@joshin436]

Madonna went to the Ballroom, Jose of The House of Xtravaganza auditioned for her right there at the Ball, he and Luis also helped Choreographed the dance for the video, they both went on Tour with her and also the Vogue video came out in 1990, Paris Is Burning came out in 90 or 91.

[@renjoSounds]

This is an iconic class given by Mr Murray here. Legendary even. Get the word out.

[@broddablack5290]

Watch Paris is burning, and POSE. It’s Paris is burning that broke the barrier.

[@ruhsaanjones4750]

💯💯💯...exactly.

[@broddablack5290]

What a testimony, he’s amazing.

[@MilaBelen]

Ballrooms and houses culture is SO beautiful and needed, and sadly I think in many countries like mine (which is in Latin America) they haven't existed or at least have been very unusual... Thank you for all you've done Ronald. ❤️🌈

[@arigbabukehinde6951]

[@nandoacuario]

little do yk there are a lot of scenes in latin america so maybe one day ull get one near u 😁😌

[@lacedwithmar]

why tf doesn’t this have more views ??????

[@darrenyoung3102]

All I can say is it is every single one of any of the parents loss, these amazing young people didn't deserve thier parents? No, the parents did not ever deserve them.

[@DanceGeekster12]

Enjoyed every moment of this!! Thank you for the lesson.

[@pop-upprayerwithpapaa8250]

There is nothing wrong with Angel but a colossal failure of the people who gave him birth because they aren’t parents.

So often conversations about queerness revolve around the horrors and discrimination. That is obviously important to discuss, but it is really cool to see the art forms and accomplishments of queerness alongside it

[@teatingria5404]

Is there more information about these dancers?

[@teatingria5404]

The dancer with the silver shoes

[@quinnmurph2750]

I'm very curious to know how many voguers in the ballroom scene are professional dancers. I get the impression that a lot of them do it for fun, but the level of artistic / athletic / gymnastic prowess of even many beginning voguers is just Olympic! I'd be paralyzed if I tried 90 percent of those moves myself. ;-)

Looking to do a Podcast interview -no judgments, no belittling, etc with anyone who can explain the history and give some insight into the Ballroom Culture to us outsiders, if this request in any way upsets the host of this video please just delete. There are people who would like to know more than what wiki and a few TV shows tell and show us. you can check my listener's numbers on Talkshoe to see that it won't be a waste of your time & energy to allow me this interview. Closed mouths do not get fed that is why I am asking!

I would reach out to many drag artists on Instagram! Also @gravitybalmain on TikTok is a great person to ask

[@strangetalkwithdoc3141]

I think he did a great job. If you got the message there's no need to be critical about petty behaviorisms.

[@SOULVSN]

@@jarvellwilliams8393 Sir, the fact that you're the only one to comment on my "petty critique" means ...im right. You don't have to cape for the brother I said it was a good in fact I said GREAT telling the brother to slow down isn't a negative STOP IT... so please excuse yourself "Mr Smart guy"

This was amazing, and TEDx does not know how to film or light dance. All of these angles and only one has the dancers not on the dark.
