Project Ballroom: Categories is a digital documentary series presented by Google Arts & Culture, exploring the history and specific stylistic classifications of ballroom dance. Through a blend of contemporary interviews and archival footage, the project captures the evolution of categories such as femme queen, butch queen, and hands performance.
The production features interviews with Malik and Dro, who detail the cultural significance and technical requirements of each dance category. The visual execution utilizes a clean, live-action technique, juxtaposing intimate, modern studio interviews with historical club and runway imagery to contextualize the movement.
