Voguing for Malcom Mclaren

On a Saturday in April

While I was watching Deep in Vogue clip, in memory of Malcom Mclaren, I discover the connection in the title with the Voguing dance, wich is that characteristic dance part. As wikipedia says it so well: “Voguing is a highly stylized, modern club and urban dance, that evolved out of the Harlem ballroom dance scene. Vogue was originally popularized in the late 1980s, within the inner-city club scenes of the United States”…”It has evolved since its beginning and continues to be developed further as an established dance form that is practiced in the gay ballroom scene and gay clubs in big cities throughout the United State-mainly New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Miami, Detroit and Chicago“. Even Will Smith, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air was voguing.

Antifa: Chasseur de Skins is very interesting documentary about the Skinhead’s history and how a self-initiated group of young people stands up against the risen fascism in Paris’ streets during the 80′s, with the answer of the concerned and their own version in Sur les Pavés. I let you balance the arguments of the two side. Sorry it is only in french.
