Intro to Vogue: Old Way + Vogue Femme Dance Class

Step into the vibrant world of ballroom culture with this introductory workshop designed to celebrate self-expression, confidence, and community at Downstreet Dance on February 16 from 1–4 pm.

With instructor Anton May (Montreal Father Broadway Mulan), participants will explore the foundations of two iconic voguing styles: Old Way, rooted in precision and strength, and Vogue Femme, a fluid, powerful form that embraces grace and individuality. This class offers a safe, affirming space for all to learn the history, technique, and cultural significance behind these art forms while moving, posing, and connecting with their authentic selves.

Participants should come prepared to dance and move. Comfortable clothing is recommended, and footwear can range from none (e.g., socks) to heels.  A towel and water bottle is also recommended. The class is suitable for individuals aged 16 and up, with 35 spots open. There is a fee to participate. Childcare is available.
