Description:
Willi was an American dancer and choreographer best known for his appearance in the documentary film Paris is Burning.
Ninja, who was gay, was a fixture of ball culture at Harlem's drag balls who took inspiration from sources as far-flung as Fred Astaire and the world of haute couture to develop a unique style of dance and movement.
