The Benidorm Fest is just around the corner, Eurofans are eager to see the festival participants give their all on stage and finally be able to decide which of them is their favorite, as the stage setting is key when it comes to supporting one artist or another at this festival.
Well then, We already know some details about the contestants' staging.; especially one of them, Fusa Nocta, who at the end of last week published a post on her Instagram profile in which revealed some details of it.
From the staging of Fusa Nocta we know who the five dancers are that will accompany him on stage: Andrés Cozar, Alejandro Rovina, Audrey Isso, Iván Santander and Manuel Ramírez. Another detail that have not gone unnoticed at all, their post has been the motto 'Benidorm is burning' ('Benidorm is burning', inspired by the 90s documentary 'Paris Is Burning' about New York ball culture).
Now, after this publication by Fusa, many people have applauded this nod to the cultural ball, but also those who have criticized her for appropriating it and One of the main critics on this topic has been the influencer Selena Milan
On Selena Milan's social networks you can see that she has participated in Vogue Live in the Ballroom category called Realness, she knows this discipline very well and She believes that Fusa Nocta is not doing her any favors by taking her to the Benidorm Fest.
The influencer has posted several stories on her Instagram profile and also a tweet that reads: "La Fusa Nocta is a circa appropriating ballroom culture, literally her."

In addition, she shared the singer's post on her Instagram stories and wrote: "This is NOT ballroom." The last one also reads: "Verse 'Paris Is Burning' and COPY is not ballroom. Kisses from Selena Miyake Mugler."
Now, there have been many people who have shared this beef On Twitter and the networks are, in this case, divided. On one side are the people who support Selena and consider that she is right and on the other those who defend Fusa Nocta: "I don't know the context, but come on, if we take that way of seeing it, only black and queer people should be able to dance it because they are the ones who started it idk..." writes Aitor, for example, to which Selena responds: "It's not like that, it's like You don't have a fucking clue about ballroom and you haven't hired anyone from the culture to be part of the team."
It's not like that, it's like you don't have a fucking clue about ballroom and you haven't hired anyone from the culture to be part of the team.
For now, Fusa has not commented on this matter, But many of his followers have come to his defense on Twitter.
