Discover one of the styles of vogue called New Way Vogue, seen in mainstream media by voguers such as Willi Ninja, Jose, Luis, and Derrick Xtravaganza.

The class begins with a core conditioning warm up, pushup series and a stretch series to prep your body to vogue. This form works on precision with your arms to create lines, shapes and face framing movements. This element is called Arms Control. You also work on creating model-like poses to the beat of the music, duck walks and dips to seal your entire dance paragraph of vogue.
