  1. I think it’s great to see drag culture transcend through other cultures and in other languages. In my opinion, everyone can understand the language of dance.

  2. This is awesome! I love how you’ve highlighted the drag culture here, it deserves the spotlight because there are some incredible drag stars all around the world. Dance is such a great way to bring people together.
