CBX: Canadian Ballroom Extravaganza

CBX: Canadian Ballroom Extravaganza is a Canadian reality competition web series, which premiered on CBC Arts in March 2022.[1] The series features ten Canadian ballroom artists paired with emerging Canadian filmmakers to create short films highlighting their performances in five ball categories, with audience voting to determine the winner of each challenge until the ultimate winner of the competition is decided.[2] Each of the five categories is also paired with a short introductory video which introduces the competing teams and an overview of the category criteria, as well as informational videos on the overall history and culture of ballroom.

The five categories in the competition are Face, Runway, Bizarre, Vogue and Sex Siren.[3]

The final winner of the competition is slated to be announced on May 6.[4]
