Voguing is a significant dance form of the LGBTQ+ community and an important part of queer identity. It is a display and expression of one’s non-conformity to society’s gender norms.
The performance comprises poses that are inspired by Hieroglyphics, Greek, and Roman mythologies. A lot of these poses are also reminiscent of those printed in the pages of Vogue magazine.
And that’s where it gets its name from.
