Hello dear Voguers! Here are the rules: Now a quick introduction to the art of Voguing. Appart from the high couture and well known fashion magazine, Vogue, this term has more history behind just a simple name: Short Definition: A dance form popular in the 1970s and 80s. Voguing began in the Harlem gay scene as a non-aggressive battle between two feuding individuals- who chose to use dance instead of violence to settle differences. Voguing often imitated the perfect lines and flexibility of model poses seen in fashion magazine such as Vogue- of the which the dance got its name. No touching was allowed during vogue challenges, even though dancers would often become intertwined in each others extended arms, legs and hand moves. The voguer with the best dance moves was declared the winner of the battle. There were different styles of the vogue, including pantomimes or moves imitating the challenger. Though voguing originated in the Harlem ball scene, it entered mainstream homes with Madonna's hit single "Vogue". Voguing later evolved into popular fundraising shows and individual dance styles. Today, most houses use a type of dance called the j. sette to challenge each other. Choreographer, dance and runway teacher Willi Ninja was considered one of the best voguers of all time You should all know Benny Ninja, from the "House of Ninja", nowadays. HAVE FUN! Strike a Pose! |
