DROP TO THE FLOOR: Inside Vogue Culture in Kyiv
Summary: In Kyiv, vogue parties create a family-like atmosphere where women and the LGBT community can dance and explore their personalities in a safe place beyond the hostility of many nightclubs. Like any other dance style, voguing is primarily about self-expression and enjoying yourself. Yet, the style is only a small part of it. Voguing emerged in Harlem, New York during the 1980’s as a response to discrimination and as a way to pursue a safe environment primarily for queer people of color.
