Get the voguie mug.This dance style was developed in the 1960’s in the Black and Latino Gay Ballroom Scene in Harlem New York. It was inspired by Vogue Magazine and the poses models would strike in order to be photographed. Examples of this art form can be seen in the film Paris is Burning.
And fuck Madonna’s video. The bitch!!!!
The five foundational elements of Voguing are: Hand/Arm Performance, Catwalk, Duckwalk, Spins & Dips and Floor Performance. From these five pivotal elements arise three primary styles:
Old Way: formerly also known as pop dip & spin or performance. This is the original voguing style and the basis for the development of the subsequent contemporary styles. Voguing in the old way it its purest form is a dance duel between two rivals. New Way and Vogue Fem grew from this foundational form.
New way: characterized by its precision in creating complex angles, boxes, lines and illusions with the arms, wrists and hands. It was used by performers inspired by the extreme flexibility and poses of contortionists, gymnast, yoga practitioners and haute couture fashion.
Vogue Fem is based on Old Way performance and embodies an extremely feminine appearance and movement. Its influences come from Modern Dance, Ballet, Figure Skating and Pantomime. The two characteristic dynamics in the presentation of this style are: “dramatic” – very fast with impressive and “soft & cunt” that emphasizes the grace and beauty of women by rather slow movements.

The five elements of voguing are analogous to the five elements of Hip-Hop; and, both art forms borrowed the five elements structure from Kung Fu movies shown on 42nd street before Disney and gentrification turned The Deuce into a tourist trap,

Get the Vogie mug.A dance characterized by striking poses. Originated in the "ball culture" of gay black men in Harlem, which is now present in every major city of the U.S. and internationally. Made famous by Madonna's hit song of the same name...but has existed long before Miss Thing was even famous.

Get the voguette mug.From the French, En Vogue means what is currently popular, the social standard &/or fashionable (trendy, cool, da bomb, chic, hot, hip, happening, groovy, neat, decent, epic)
In English, it's common practice to refer to something fashionable as "en vogue" or "in vogue" (meaning in the current fashion or style). To evoke a sense or flair of French chic, many use the whole French phrase—en vogue. This is unnecessary but a common way to put on airs, especially in the world of fashion.
