The Wider Image: Shanghai’s ‘voguing’ dancers step lightly to avoid

Yida poses for a picture at a voguing “ball” in Shanghai, China, December 5, 2020. Voguing is a dance style characterised by staccato hand motions and angular arm and body postures punctuated by brief pauses. Popularised in 1990 by a hit Madonna song and the documentary, ‘Paris is Burning’, the trend has drawn adherents in China too, with Shanghai’s first such event organised five years ago.
