Vogue & Tone (IN PERSON)

About this class

Vogue is characterized by model-like poses, inspired by Vogue Magazine, integrated with angular, linear and rigid arm, leg and body movements. The style of dance arose from Harlem ballrooms in the early 1930s. This dance style was originally called "performance" and evolved into the more intricate and illusory form that is now called "vogue-ing". There are six elements of Vogue-ing: hands, spins, catwalk, duck walk, dips and floor performance. The class will start with a fifteen-minute warm-up where we focus on core work and isolations. After the warm-up, we will transition into across the floor work. Not only will you learn the history of Vogue, but you will receive an intense workout. Jocquese will break down each element from hands to spins, catwalk to duck walk, dips to floor performance. Each element has specific movements that will strengthen and engage different parts of the body.
