Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it
Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it
Vogue, vogue
It seems that there is a new dramatic workout trend growing in the U.K. It is a mash of yoga and Voguing.
The definition of Voguing is to dance to music in such a way as to imitate the characteristic poses struck by a model on a catwalk. This form of dance was first seen in the 1980’s, New York City.
The official Voga website explains this workout is “for people who like the idea of yoga but also want a cardiac workout without losing focus. It combines the expressive moves of the ‘dance’ class with the breath synchronized movement of yoga”.
During a Voga class, you won’t be surprised to hear classics such as Madonna, Prince and other fab artists. You are also bound to see some marvelous 80’s work out wear.
Personally, I think Voguing would be a shit load of fun and definitely a creative way to break up the same old yoga/workout routine. Maybe I can convince them we need to Voga here in Canada?
Feel free to watch the video below to get a stronger feel for what Voga really is.
And you can’t speak about Voguing without listening to some Madonna.
