2 things I realized I was doing 1> going flat down... foot flat, left butt cheek only on the floor and back arch 2> attempting to do the move bare feet and in shorts... used to take a toll on my knees. but just now was the easiest I executed a proper dip for the first time and I started learning vogue less than a year... thank you for this video. you've earned this subscription

[@luckysnackcreations4572]

One of my favorite twistas!! Always in the final battle battle whether win, lose or draw. This was dope tutorial and glad to see him still performing/teaching.

[@chriswte.1363]

As a drag queen this video is so helpful because I’ve attempted a “dramatic dip” on too many occasions and failed leaving myself to look like someone put some oil on the floor and I slipped at the end, lol so Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheAsianStyle]

I would love to know how the dramatic dip become a 'deathdrop'...anyone here?

[@dextermexter7702]

Because you "drop dead"

[@axisboise]

You mean the misterminology of the dip? I think it started with the mainstream Rupaul drag race. Laganja arguably introduces the dip to the show and from there they started calling it a death drop. If not this, idk what you mean.

[@basbleupeaunoire]

@@axisboise Just as a point of fact, Shangela did it before her.

[@lavondukes12]

I blame the dancing dolls

[@uri627]

Laganja And Rupauls Drag Race smh !

[@stephanieramirez7653]

Omg I love it!! I've wanted to learn this so bad! I see it all the time and it looks so fun!

[@XianHaos]

I would love to see a "death drop" vs "dip" video. The two moves get confused for each other, when a proper "death drop" is when you squat down, and throw yourself back, catching yourself with your hands and letting your legs continue backwards in a side split. The effect resembles being shot with a shotgun, but with glamor.

[@misoweli]

well what you described is a v layout. the death drop most people think of is where you fall into a jazz split with your back on the ground, popularized by drag queens. due to the popularity of drag race and the similarity between death drops and vogue dips, the terms have been confused

[@Ahnjay_2k]

All that is wrong. A death drop aint more than a dramatic dip.

[@wassimbassil287]

there are no death drops, only dainty and dramatic dips

[@Sonsbitchesall]

Hey Lamar! Vogue really, God’s knows it’s my life and I really appreciate this video bc the dips are the most frustrating part for me . I think they require a certain flexibility from you on the bottom back and definitely being able to do splits to a certain degree. But anyways I loved this and it HELPED! Thank you!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

Bottom back? *flexibility in your back and legs

[@stanelle6145]

Certified vogue tutorial!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Darnell hope all is well

[@oupsie9021]

That's haaaarrrrddddd!!!! I will need to keep practicing 🦵

[@b.gedits1229]

[@Gairuntee]

Thank you!

[@franklinfuentes]

WORK BITCH! All of he Orig. 'Legendary' children will live, because you're doing Classic 'Old Way"; the Best way!

[@ToxicDerg]

Today I learned how not-flexible I am

[@radRadiolarian]

i tried this and i looked like i fell down the stairs in family guy

[@jeremi_ferrer]

Hey! Love this video, I have a slight problem. Whenever I try to do the dip, I sometimes lose my balance and fall over. Any advice?

[@wangdangatomictango]

Thank you I busted my ass doing a dip! They caught me slippin smdh

[@Stop_It_Just_Stop]

Ok cool and all to know the history of where the death drop from RuPaul came from but why is everyone so heated that no one knows it’s a dip anymore. This happens a lot, everything evolves. Instead of being mad, this could just be a fun fact, everything comes from something I don’t think this is worthy of being mad about.

[@jonperry501]

Yaaaaaaaaaaas!

[@naitsirhc5067]

ok I tried, I would love to learn but It requires some elasticity from the body to do it, my bones cracked AF ☠

[@justaflowerx]

Im here after seeing EVERGLOW's La Di Da choreography

[@Millennial.maximus]

I’m living!

[@evocatimedia]

Is it weird that a straight guy loves this move? I think it’s the coolest most elegant thing. I call it Death Drop because... ... i think the move says:”Look at me, i’m DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.” (the vibe i get from it)

[@nibelungvalesti4941]

I'm so rigid that I think I will break myself if I do that

[@2212fred]

Song at 1:47 ?

[@beebeeisdatpreciousbabycak690]

The ankle pain from a dramatic dip. Absolutely not. How do y'all do this outside of God spirits helping?

[@kkwok9]

This is ...

[@SunflowerSunflower101]

Old Okie Grandma learning the culture here. So why does everyone put out their hands & point in sync as someone dips? Is that how people vote? Is it symbolic of helping the dancer get back up & showing support? Love watching & learning about different forms of dance all around the world. Thanks!

[@mikemahara2155]

WERK

[@Oceaniiz]

It’s a deathdrop not a dip

[@nicolebody]

Liz The Dog it’s a dip not a death drop. You don’t know anything about ballroom culture so mind your uncultured business 😘☺️

[@DaytonaMeth7]

Liz The Dog Shut the fuck up breeder

[@sparkyboomboomboi7051]

Axis Boise omg what is your problem?!? Wishing death upon someone for calling it by the wrong name?! What is wrong with you

[@maredgwenllian9698]

I will always call it a death drop it sounds lot sassyer and dangerous and the croud gose wild so I call it death drop 🙂

[@lepidlover0557]

Dip. It's always been called a dip
