Vogueing lives on, well at least on TV. HBO is launching LEGENDARY a brand new series which will see competitors from eight different ballroom houses vying for legendary status.
Vogue, or voguing, is a highly stylized, modern house dance originating in the late 1980s that evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene of the 1960s. It gained mainstream exposure when it was featured in Madonna’s song and video “Vogue”.
It was first profiled on the big screen Paris Is Burning and later in other queer movies like Kiki and Leave it On The Floor and emerged on TV more recently in Pose.
“The goal,” says a voiceover in the newly released trailer, “is to be legendary, honey.”
Legendary will be emceed by DaShaun Wesley and DJed by DJ MikeQ, with judges including Jameela Jamil, Megan Thee Stallion, Law Roach and Leiomy Maldonado. It will premiere on 27 May, the day HBO Max – HBO’s new streaming service – launches.
PS Check out Leave It On The Floor reviewed by Queerguru and also Kiki reviewed by Queerguru and now streaming on Amazon.
