The hyper-exaggerated facial makeup, stylized posing and overemphasized but ambiguous sexuality in Morton Nilsson's photographs of professional ballroom dancers strikes me as a kind of European cousin to American pro wrestling. (Despite the two similar pics I grabbed above, Nilsson has not done a typology. The show's poses are a bit more varied.)
