This highly stylised form of dance was created by the black and latino LGBTQ+ community in Harlem, New York. Emerging from the club scene of the 80s, participants of Vogue are encouraged to explore the representation of, and free themselves from, gender-normative roles. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to explore the moves of Vogue – spinning, dipping, and werqqqqing to achieve a short piece of choreography. As well as discovering Ballroom culture and voguing, you will also learn the history and context of the art form, and the fundamentals of Vogue Femme. Recommended age for this event is 14+.

We present a one-off special Vogue dance class for families, with the mother of the House of Ghetto, Darren Pritchard as part of Pride in Trafford's 'Pride Inside' online micro-festival. Are your kids ready to be fabulous, celebrate and pose pose pose!? Inspired by the vogue ballroom scene of the 80s, House of Ghetto’s Darren Pritchard will be running a high-energy, kid-friendly session online to teach the whole family the basics of voguing, to let it all out, have fun and pose your own house at home. Recommended age for this event is 5-13. All of our online event are free, however if you are in a position to do so, please donate to our ‘pay it forward’ campaign, which will provide tickets to forthcoming shows to NHS key workers and their families, many of whom have not been able to enjoy quality family time and take part in events such as this during the Covid-19 crisis. www.prideintrafford.org/donate Full info on the Pride in Trafford, Pride Inside micro-festival can be found at www.prideintrafford.org
