PARIS IS VOGUING BANDE ANNONCE from Gabrielle Culand on Vimeo.
"Voguing is a dance characterized by model-like poses, inspired by Vogue magazine. Born in New-York in the 1980's, this culture gathered hundreds of young african-american and latinos gay men. They faced each other in dance battles, organized during improvised runway shows called "ballrooms". Madonna, Lady Gaga or Beyoncé helped popularized this dance and its culture, as an inspiration to their own choreographies.
In France, Lasseindra Ninja is one of the main figures of the discipline. She lives in Paris and, since she was adopted by the House of Ninja - one of the most famous in New-York - when she was 20, she has been organizing her own ballrooms in France." Vice
