How to find balls? Ballroom community?

Hi, I’m fairly new to ballroom, I got introduced back in 2021-2022 (with Legendary and Pose) and I’ve been in awe and poured so much of my soul into learning, researching, a respecting something as beautiful as this. I’m honestly pissed that I’m recently finding out about ballroom because I had no one like me (Black Gay male) to look up to growing up. But now that I’ve found it, I want to try actually vogueing and participating in different categories at balls, since I haven’t been to one. Where do I look? Is there any scenes for baby voguer/first timers. Kiki scenes? (Context NorCal).
