Here is a intro video of the History of House/Ball Room Scene at Creating Change 2010. This was one of the most informative sessions I attended. It gave an amazing background on how House/Ball Room culture began, as well as why it was started. This session was informative and interactive as well as put to rest any rumors that Madonna was the creator of Voguing!!

check out "paris is burning" for a lovely introduction to house/ball culture.  it is an amazing documentary and can really show you some of the major personalities and houses.

gay men's health crisis also has a website (www.myballroomlife) that gives a nod to this scene.
