VJ Kawakubo, 27, an IT programmer, leads a dance class in a studio in Shanghai, China, December 3, 2020. VJ was one of the city’s earliest adopters of voguing. Although the performance aspect of voguing is important, he said, its ability to bring people together gave the scene deeper meaning. “If you are just dancing by yourself, there is no meaning in that,” said VJ “The most important thing for me is that it’s a comfortable environment.” REUTERS/Aly Song
