[@neopolitanvampire5916]

Exactly! I’m so confused, didn’t we all watch the same video? I barely saw any white people in this video - all the dancing was done by poc. I can just use context clues and figure out that this dance style was made or popularized by poc.

[@erinkelley1212]

Yeah it’s like there is never enough diversity. We got a whole video about how the LGBT community created such an amazing form of dance. But no that’s not enough. We need to make sure that they are LGTB people and poc. This just doesn’t make sense for me.

Let me tell y'all, especially the people who don't understand the scene. It do take NERVE. It's no joke. The categories are strict, and if you are not the best, you will be cut. Vogueing, along with all the other categories, are an art form. It takes discipline, practice, and a whole lot of nerve. MUCH respect to all Voguers, and Happy Pride month to all the LGBT folks in the comments.

The title is misleading. From what I know these Legendary Houses were created in response to racism faced within the white LGBT community at the time - especially in drag. We cannot ignore this, and, know just showing the Black and Latinx founders does not count as making that known.

[@Akilahfoye]

mhmmmm, and I see various forms of group, collective performance in many countries with Afro/indigenous peoples. What is today called cypher. Similar to Vogue is Soul Train, Capoeira, A capella, Zangbeto in some West African communities. Honestly, I think Soul Train was voguing before voguing was a thing.

[@ShredPenguins]

I like how you just assume people are triggered by the fact it's LGBT. I happen to think Vogueing as a whole is worthless and anyone who tries to tell me otherwise is dumb. I don't care if it came from some positive aspect of a subset culture, it's a shitty dance that requires very little talent. It's like the people who dance at electronica music shows. You should feel bad for your shitty taste in things and stop turning this into a social issue, or accusing people who don't support vogueing as somehow against the LGBT community. Time to grow up Quincy.

[@riley1410]

[@marycannon2943]

ShredPenguins I won’t make this political, but vogueing is literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve been a ballerina for over a decade and doing various other styles of dance during that time. I had a friend invite me to take a vogueing class and I thought it would be easy because it’s just jumping around right? Wow was I wrong! There are so many elements such as the cat walk, arm and hand movements, the duck walk (which requires insane leg strength), floor work and so much more. Not only does it require physical strength it thrives on creativity. If you think that this is worthless, you lack the intelligence and creativity to see that this is an important art of self expression.

[@vineethchennabhoina3798]

I do reason it all out. And Vox provides enough evidence before it even dares to make a claim.The bottomline is, you won't get a media outlet which is as open as this is on everything. They're real people, and I feel like I personally know them. The fact I'm trying to establish is, amidst all of the paranoia about news outlets, I'd like to offer them my unconditional support. I have enough faith in them to know they won't make a claim without it being true.

[@joshuajohn8870]

I have the opposite view. The only way to keep new outlets like Vox unbiased is to be extremely critical of it. If everybody gave them the unconditional support like you did they will quickly regress into appealing to the emotions of audiences to get view instead of having well-reasoned videos. There's nothing wrong with supporting a media outlet, but giving "unconditional" support is one of the most dangerous things you can do.

[@vineethchennabhoina3798]

Dude. Seriously. Read what I wrote. "And Vox provides enough evidence before it even dares to make a claim." When Vox starts making stuff up from thin air, I'll think about it, but it never did. What? Appealing to my emotions to get my view? I'm not opinionated. The collective audience over here has a million different views, how are you going to appease all of these views? It's easier to tell the truth, and that's exactly what they're doing, and will continue to do. So, it's out of question they'll turn rogue. I'm not deluded to think that Fox is the right source for my daily fix of news.

[@melissayes3161]

EvilTom, it's strange how you almost advocated for pedophilia in your second to last comment. Perhaps it may be from generalizing too much. I'm interested in what research you've done on the topics you've mentioned but I would rather you emailed me than continued in this section of the comments. Not that being less educated or exposed to something makes you less valid, but forming an educated point of reference can help to make real progress in a conversation as opposed to running in circles and making irrelevant comments, of which there are non here. I'm interested in understanding where you are coming from, in a non-personal sense. I suppose what I'm asking for is a definition of the term "Natural" and how it related to "Mother Nature". Which definitions do you abide by and should they be at all? I'm team Mother Nature Can Fight Me because she's literally a pain in my butt but I love her, nonetheless, and I love my friends. Does your definition include all things organic and that can be developed, or are you actively against that? Because sex changes aren't just a choice for people, in a similar way that sexuality isn't a choice. This discourse can also lead into questions surrounding identity, which is a fun but sometimes difficult place to traverse, even if one is prepared.

[@killlamas57]

How on earth would the average man know that what they see on an Ariana Grande music video is 'voguing' at its roots? Do you think many straight men attend Lady Gaga concerts? Probably not. Just because people aren't sure what it is doesn't mean they're homophobic. I saw the video in my subscriptions page and thought "What is voguing?" and I clicked on the video to find out. Simple. No hatred. No homophobia, just curiosity. People like you are the reason there are divisions between 'different groups' of people.

the comments are split between "yaasssssssss" "yesss! werk!" "they should've credited poc" "what is this & why are people doing it?" " (this is where a comment in regards to "y'all uneducated. lemme explain; blahblahblahblah" ) "

[@octaviodigianni905]

whoever put that imovie corny music at the end of the video, they're going to prison

[@faisalkahfi6181]

I always vogueing at my house when nobody's home or no one sees everyday even when I'm just going to bathroom LOL.

[@karlosalazar7105]

This was beautifully done. thanks for the representation, Vox.

[@eliivy7487]

Wait, is there gonna be a series of LGBT-related videos during the Pride Month? YES PLEASE SAY YES MAKE MORE OF THESE

[@luboisfat]

Why?

[@DonaTarte]

luboisfat they're interesting and clearly upset a lot of bigots.

[@9955664]

Moonman lol nobody is "whining" btw lgbt people want equal rights and not special treatment

[@zxendarko]

eliivy no

[@9955664]

NoFace that's sad

[@dayjavu18]

The podcast "Reply All" from Gimlet media did a great episode about the origins of the term "YAS," which began in these houses. The episode is #69 Disappeared and it starts around the 19:30 minute mark. It's interesting stuff. gimletmedia.com/episode/69-disappeared/

[@MasterFGH]

thanks for reminding me where i heard this before. great episode and great podcast

[@andreapaolamunozfranco2766]

The girl whit the nose ring who talks in this video appears in pillar point's video called Dove. She makes a really beautiful dance and the location, breathtaking .

[@KhanhTheLearner]

Voguing, in my simplest understanding, is about being as extra as you possibly can be. I love it hahaha!

[@christiansosa6214]

Please make more educational videos like these for dance. It’s very much needed!

[@pazzieanneknexx809]

Thank you for correcting my image of the history of this type of dance! I didn't know any better, and I have a lot of friends in the LGBT+ community, so I want to learn about their history and help them feel safe and supported around me. (I might be some form of ace but right now I identify as either Questioning or straight.)

[@greentearain]

You want to be special so bad 😂

[@LimeyLassen]

TIL this is my dance style, I thought I was just freestyling this whole time

[@Andrew_001]

Advanced dabbing?

[@KLK01]

P-Serbian/Syber_Tv Super Advanced Dabbing.

[@jamesfra1311]

P-Serbian/Syber_Tv Hard core dabbing

[@aquariuslove5709]

P-Serbian/Syber_Tv You compared Dabbing to Voguing!?! Straight people.....

[@azisandwich]

P-Serbian/Syber_Tv hyper dabing

[@ThinkerYT]

next level mate

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

Finally found out that this is called voguing dance after I saw those funny edits of people falling down

[@sssnrrr]

I think the vocal performance of the narrator could be improved

[@AbeChang2]

Samuel Rai he's referring to how bored she sounds

[@jenny-bu4le]

omg please she sounds monotone as heck

[@AbeChang2]

@daily reminder i probably wouldn't work as a voice over narrator

[@youfoundisaac]

Narrator's waaaaaaay to close to the mic. If you're gonna go all NPR then you have to lower your voice

[@soaringwings7271]

This is really cool. Never heard of it before now glad you did a video

[@josephstanichar5434]

Happy pride month, everyone!

I just wanted to say something nice... 😭

[@kaelenemslie]

0:53 is that Alaska?

[@croctologist]

I really appreciated this. I think it's so important for these stories to be told. Madonna didn't invent voguing like people sometimes think she did.

[@naurking5388]

more people think that mj invented moonwalking when he actually just stole it, but i've never seen y'all worrying about that

[@brentaltm]

I wish I knew more about the modern ball scene. Is it still around? I know there are still houses like Ninja and Xtravangaza but do they still come together to do balls? Are they big events?

[@Mondial714]

shantay, you stay !

[@Grid88]

Likes to Dislikes ratio is too high here.

[@karenheiser4535]

This is so fun, love it💛

[@angelkingsley5299]

Captain America: Civil war but as a vogue off.

[@tiagomateus1845]

Who came here after Stay Tonight by Chung Ha?😆😃😄

[@jamesharvey5530]

*corey* First he was in the house Now he *is* the house

[@kirakim6224]

wanna see a great Vogue Choreography? I recommend SHINHWA - THIS LOVE. You're welcome!

[@axeoil]

I've been kinda interested in vogue for 2 years now but like how do I learn it😂

[@mooshe4017]

Often confused for Madonna's co-opted version. That was poetry to my soul.

[@justagirlbabyyes]

the original vogue dancers worked with madonna. the godfather of vogue loves madonna. you're not that educated.

[@windowzombie]

Vox can get like 90% of the story right and then throw in something like this showing they don't do research and have an angle on everything. No wonder the company failed.

[@marksusskind1260]

All I "know" about voguing is from Madonna. Thank you for some background.

[@loveliveloverina]

[@brianbethea3069]

They made it very clear in the video.

[@grandsome1]

So it's like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure poses made into a dance? Genius.

[@SailorSlay]

wow I had no idea that the ballrooms and vogueing was still around. I watched paris is burning and the ballroom was the only place the kids had to lay their head at night. It hurt my heart to learn that Madonna and others took what they wanted but left the documentaries participants behind.

[@annika5495]

I came here after Gfriend said Apple choreography was inspired by Voguing Choreography on Elle

[@richardsalmon2134]

What people need to know about Voguing is that it releases an aura of energy no one else can understand. Voguing is different for everyone in its uniqueness.
