Ballroom, danser pour exister

A vibrant story pulsing with the energy of Paris’s ballroom scene. In the world of LGBT+ and BIPOC communities, young artists from the House of Revlon fight for their dreams, their identity and their place on the stage of contemporary France. Between the glare of the spotlight and the daily struggle against exclusion, the protagonists create their own spectacular personas. Make-up, fashion and storytelling all matter here because ballroom is, above all, an emotional competition.

The series draws viewers in with its atmosphere of community, queer freedom and intense rivalry, from internal conflicts to the historic ball organized during the Olympic Games in Paris, which brings the ballroom scene to a new level of visibility. It is a story about the Revlon family, born from the courage to be oneself.
