Alyssa Edwards is continuing to prove why she’s the most successful fourth runner-up in Drag Race herstory with her very own Netflix reality show.
The legenday queen, real name Justin Johnson, will star in new eight-part docu-series Dancing Queen, which is set to document her life as a drag performer and dance school instructor in Texas.
Filmed in Justin’s hometown of Mesquite, Texas, Dancing Queen goes behind the makeup and into the world of his highly competitive Beyond Belief Dance Company as he prepares a young class for an intensely competitive season.
Netflix unveiled the show’s first drama-filled trailer on Wednesday (August 22), and frankly it looks like that Paris is Burning/Dance Moms crossover we never knew we needed.
The queen you know. The stories you don’t.
