Dance in Fashion

Unusual post. This interesting post is from Liuba. I would like to tell you about VOGUE or VOGUEING. I don`t want to tell you about type of walking or fashion magazine. I want to tell you about my favorite style of dancing. It is really broad concept: it is runway, poses, moving. Special music and special costumes with abnormal make up. And yes - this is fashion.

VOGUEING  starts in the 30-'40s. Then the world is ruled by Greta Garbo, and the dancers copied the famous pose of actress.

There are 4 basic styles of vogue: Old Way, New Way, Vogue Femme and Dramatic

1st wave (up to 1990) «old way» - is characterized by clear lines in the construction of forms, symmetry, static postures. All forms are very pretty and feminine.

2nd wave (after 1990) «new way».One version of the new wave of popularity with the movement came after the clip Madonna «Vogue». After the 90 parts of the body become more rigid and stiff. Pierce characteristic gestures of wacking - very amplitude and whipping the brush. Can be used «king-tut" brush or wrist rolls, typical of locking. Another side - isolation, work with imaginary geometric objects, elements of pantomime.

«Voque Femme» (1995) - based on the aura of femininity, which is associated with the "queen" of balls.

There are five elements Vogue Femme: hands, catwalk, duckwalk, dips and floor performance.

«Voque Dramatic style» - based on acrobatics, is widely used in different guises vogue, including racks, fall, jumps and spins.

VOGUE BALL
Ball - this is battle, but too unusual for simple dance styles.
On the ball you can be women or man. You can be in a strange costume. For instance- to put flowers in your hairs.

Three main criteria in Vogue:
Precision - how precisely, do you follow the music.
Style - your style, your way.
Grace - as far as you are comfortable with itself, in its image. Learn to control your body.

Thanks everyone for attention. Now you know my hobby really well.
 Be creative,
Liuba
