I’m a midnight ballerina 🩰. Euphoria makes my job harder.

As a professional "midnight ballerina," I have some thoughts on HBO’s Euphoria. Spoiler alert: They aren’t good. We need to talk about why #euphoria portrayal of exotic dancing is harmful, unrealistic, and perpetuates damaging stereotypes. The "glitter and grit" of Euphoria is just a Hollywood fantasy that misses the mark on reality, and it has real consequences for the community. Euphoria isn't a documentary, but when it's the only representation millions see that has real-world consequences for our community. The narrative is tired, and it’s time to call it out.
