I can't find it, but there's a video of a whole dance crew doing it at the end of the video. Looks pretty dope.

VOGUE

There are very few dance styles capture the attitude, hyper femininity and pure style of Vogue, but not very many people know much about it. But everyone knows its signature dance move: the death drop.

Hyperfemininity? Falling down is HYPER feminine? Everyone? Shit this is the first I have ever seen this. Seems super silly to me. Gotta love people with serious faces doing silly shit I suppose. Reminds me of Monty Python or kids in the hall.

In the name of the moon, she can punish me. Pls.

 

[Zukuu]

I must be too old for this shit, but I think it looks hella stupid.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Rick Flair was the master of the death drop.

 

[injurai]

Huh? It's came out of the drag scene.

 

[Dai101]

Damn, thanks to this thread i've been watching Vogue videos non-stop. For those that think the death drop is too silly

[ThisGuy]

Oh, I figured homosexuals from the video and op's post, but didn't clue into drag. Before this thread I always thought Madonna found a popular dance in black subculture or whatever and brought it to attention.

 

[ReBirFh]

Looks exactly like me when I broke my leg.

She???

The drag scene is all sorts of lgbtq spectrum, but vogue certainly came out of a multi-ethnic drag scene. Sort of a blending of cultures and men celebrating the embracement of femininity.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Huh? It's came out of the drag scene.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say it came out of the predominately black drag queen subculture? It's not LGBT was/is this unified force.

Edit: Or what Royalan said.

 

[Rayis]

OKKURR MAMA LET'S GET SICKENING


anyway, I love Voguing, it's such a fierce and sassy dance, would love to learn how to do it

Look at Queen Leiomy slaying all your faves in the latest Street Star though

 

[royalan]

Huh? It's came out of the drag scene.

Not exactly.

Vogue evolved out of the ballroom scene, which itself originated in black/minority communities and was unisex.

Drag as we practice it in the US, has similar origins, so it's easy to get the two mixed up. But, by and large, drag culture borrows from ballroom culture, not the other way around.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Looks kind of goofy. Thought this was going to be about cliff diving or something.

 

[botty]

With a mug like this I don't have to change the avatar.

That's the point! You should have a new one every week.

Alright, so maybe vogue is coming out of ballroom, but drag and polari both greatly predate ballroom. So I don't think you can say it's not the other way around.

 

[Ben Morales]

She???

I honestly couldn't tell myself. Even went to her Instagram. She/he is beautiful.

 

[Dai101]

In the name of the moon, she can punish me. Pls.

Here's her youtube channel

Well yeah, drag has technically existed a lot longer than the ballroom scene, but drag also evolves and changes. Drag as we largely know it today (I call it club drag), borrows a lot from ballroom culture.

Of course, there are other styles of drag that predate ballroom that are still popular today. But you won't see those queens death dropping. lol

EDIT:

Inxi is a cis female.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

One of the most difficult moves in dance, and currently taking popular culture by storm.

I mean, I watch these video clips, and I'm amazed at the athleticism.

So GAF, anybody here into Vogue dance/culture?

I thought this was a joke thread with clumsy dancers taking a nasty fall. This is real??

 

[Wilsongt]

YAAAAAAS GAWD TANDI IMAN DUPREE YAAAAAAAS
