VOGUE Learn How To Vogue The Oldway: A Lesson From the Oldway Icon Jamal Milan 

All Vogue is important. All the New Way forms ("New Way, "Femme", etc) have their own set of complexities; but, Old Way is the CORE and HEART of Vogue in its dance form. Furthermore, it requires a lot of fore thought... in that every move forward you make MUST consider what the following move will be; because, you want to land in the pose that is most conducive for your next move. You can afford a flaw more so in a Femme-Vogue performance; because there is enough complexity for that flaw to be "absorbed" or recovered from throughout the performance. With Old Way, you better have your strategy down and completely on point, or it will show. Something huge would be lost if we did not always have some masters of the art form around; yet, something is so timeless and universal in its wisdom, that it seems inevitable that it would just reincarnate in a new time and space. It's magic.

As the son of Legendary Original Father Hector Xtravaganza, I am delighted to see the enthusiasm for the Old Way. I am a Legend as well and still carry till this day. I am Father Michael Lang and I am the epidomy of Old Way Vogue

10 years and I’m watching to learn to continue this tradition

Unfortunately where I live in West Virginia, there's no knowledge of the dance or any real appreciation for it. People here still credit Madonna for the dance....lmao (as if). I still carry on in my living room at the sweet age of 53. Father Lang

One day the old way will be the new way

Scooter I remember seeing you as one of the new young boys who did a GREAT job in the Old Way. Excellent job Scooter. Well Done.

Yesss, younger generation here and obsessssed with the old way. Gives me life 👏🏼

Atmosphere of this video is siiiickkk✨

Not long ago I was introduced to wonderful vogueing videos on YT by my fabulous nephew. I've enjoyed them immensely but have not fully understood the terminology, categories, History etc. Thank you for posting this. It makes me have an new appreciation for this exciting genre of dance. Now I can be cool "Auntie Lisa" when discussing dance with my talented favorite nephew. Smooches and hugs from Malden, Massachusetts.

I feel you man. I'm just glad you watched the video. I love all styles of vogue.

Im so thankful you recorded this. I particularly love that historical context was included in this

You guys are amazing. So much passion in your art form. Old way, new way. It's all beautiful.

Its good and really fun, I admire what u lovely lady boys are trying to do. continue to keep the tradition alive and upload more videos I enjoy trying the steps. :-)

Gracias por este contenido de calidad y teoría, estoy empezando a sumergirme un poco más a la cultura Ballroom, me salvó la vida, me dió un sentido y un espacio seguro donde pueda ser y otrxs puedan también. Gracias a los legendarios.

Thank you for sharing this, it's really hard to learn about the Oldway. Would be great if you could share more information about technique and all the elements of it.

Truly an art

I appreciate it!

Thank you

I WISH I WAS IN NYC TO STUDY.

Jamal Is GORGEOUS....... So Damn Cute

impressive

Jamal is too cute and such a great performer.

Hey I would love to know if this class still exist, and where. I would love to attend

where can i get these tracks to practice?

Hey Jamal, I was browsing on RU-vid for different things and saw that you are still into the voguing. I remember back in the 80's when you got started with Artimis Lewis, James and Jarrett Taylor. You probably don't remember me. I was Jarrett's friend George with the Black Sunbird. We had a lot of fun back in the day. Miss you much boo. Send me info how I can reach you best.

I want to do classes :C

He's beautiful 😍😍😍

PS: your eyebrows are lovely

I wanna take this class. I'm a hip hop dancer, run my own company. I have hand performance I guess as far as vogue fem or dramatics though but when I hip hop dance, or choreograph its reminiscent of Michael Jackson where I'll go off but there are also alot of Sharp movements and clean lines.

Are you still teaching classes? Or do you know someone who is? I've learned a little but I want to grow

Hey wassup...I'm down to teach you..Let me know Jaquai man

Jason ovahness, Ronald and who ?
