Vogue is a form of modern dance characterized by photo model like poses integrated with angular, linear and rigid arm, leg and body movements. The style of dance arose from the Harlem ballrooms back in the early 1930s, which was then called "performance" and evolved into the more intricate and illusory form that is now called "vogue".
Voguing has evolved since its beginning and continues to be developed further as an established dance form that is practiced in gay dance clubs in New York, and other big cities throughout the United States--mainly Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Miami and Chicago.
Though voguing usually takes place in gay clubs frequented by African Americans and Latin American males, it is also practiced by a small number of non-gay individuals and outside of the club scene. Formal competitions occur in the form of balls held by houses or collectives of dancers and performers. Some influential houses include the House of Xtravaganza, the House of Balenciaga, the House of Revlon, the House of Karan, the House of Ninja, the House of Infiniti, the House of Aviance and the House of Milan.
