David Magnifique
"When I was first introduced to the style of vogue there was hardly anyone doing it, and from what I saw I was not impressed. From a young age I had always been fascinated with the dance form and seeing what I saw in real life I was not fascinated. I was at an age where I was still trying to find myself and find my dance language. So I said to myself "I am going to learn this dance form, practice, train and educate myself so hard that I will be known for being the best voguer in London and the face of London voguing. After 2 years of transforming into this fierce, fabulous diva I was contacted by the Mother himself Princess Magnifique Royalty, of the Legendary, Iconic, New York House Of Magnifique and asked to join and become a member of the house. Now we are here in 2015 and I am the face of voguing in London."

This is an introductory workshop to Voguing, explaining the foundations of the style, going through the 5 elements and learning how to pose, WERK the runway, and embrace how Voguing is a celebration of individuality and being free to express yourself, without judgement. Owning it.

WORKSHOPS, DANCERS AND DJS will all be here to thrust you into cutting edge, shape shaving divas. Join us 3- 6pm to learn from the fabulous Benjamin Milan and David Magnifique and from 10pm - 5am to dance / strut / beat til the sun rises.
