This series is an in-depth dive into the five elements of vogue fem -- one of the three sub-categories of vogue, a dance style from the ballroom community rooted in Black and Latin queer / trans communities. These videos are not intended to be an exhaustive or definitive guide on right and wrong, but rather an accessible and informative source of information to combat the wide array of misinformation and teachers with no connection to the ballroom scene currently on YT: aimed towards people without access to a local ballroom scene or teachers from the ballroom scene.
Please leave a comment down below with any specific questions you have about the content in this video, or questions about ballroom in general! I'll do my best to answer.
If you enjoyed or learned something from this class and want to compensate me, my payment links are below. Alternatively, here are a number of Black trans-centered charities that you can make a donation to instead -- vogue and ballroom exists because of Black trans women and they created the conditions and community for me to even be able to make this series.

I recommend you just never refer to it as a death drop, it will make peoppe believe that it goes by two names when in reality there is no such thing as a death drop. Lets protect this dancing style from the masses and from people changing up things to turn it into something else.

Oh my god thank you so much. I did some research and from what I can understand, old way is based more on poses and sharp lines, whole new way is more about stretches and contortions...right?
