The Human Rights Campaign Equality Ball celebrates Black queer ballroom culture — as does the superstar's Renaissance Tour and album — at a time when hate-crime murders have dominated headlines in just the past two weeks.
“I have been wanting to bring an authentic ball culture and community here to Las Vegas,” says Giroux Zakalik. “Carlos is on tour right now with Beyoncé. He is one of the contributing choreographers.

They also appeared on the showon HBO Max. Zakalik has danced for artists such as Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Amerie, Outkast, Chaka Khan and Cher.
