If anyone else is curious, there are multiple styles of Vogue as well. The vouging you see in "Paris is Burning" is Old way which focuses on lines and house music. Vouge Femme is where you see the dips and dramatic flair in the video. Vouge New way is coming up that mixes the lines and contortion of old way with the dramatics and music of Vouge femme.
I need you guys to be WAY bigger than y'all are, like seriously this channel is attentive, sensitive, educational, analytical and the hosts always seem super cool
So respectful and really focused on introducing and making connections! I hope you strengthen and create bonds that we get to see fostered further thru your channel! I love you this shifted from hard music theory to an exploration of the people's varied experiences into this culture. I wish you could go back in time and explore House music development too 😍
Thanks for watching and thanks for all the love in the comments! We had so much fun making this episode over many many late nights. If you like what you see, you should go support the artists featured here. You can find them all on instagram and soundcloud. Go let them know we sent you too
Came across this randomly and I couldn't be more excited to share it! Humblest of thank yous. MikeQ is an absolute gem (in my best Auntie voice) I've been playing his music as long as he's been sharing it with us....There's a generation out there hungry for this doc.
As an outsider to ballroom but fan of the channel, I came in with kind of an expectation that this video learning about ballroom would lead into y'all trying to make your own ballroom track, the way you've done with other styles. Y'all did a good job of getting across what made it important for y'all not to do that.
We've been going around filming these "On Tour" episodes as part of a series, and we are meeting people in person and learning about their style of music. Hopefully these episodes can stand on their own without us making our own songs, because for a lot of them it just wouldn't feel right to do so.
@@SoundFieldPBS [nods!] This felt super informative and super respectful. It's making me think about the act of making art for purpose for a community, because this music is made *for* ballroom in detail down to when they hit the crash cymbal - and it'd be appropriation to try to mimic it for mass audiences, but the tools they use, the effects they pursue, and the questions they ask and answer in the formation of their works are still ... things, that can help us understand what music is and can be. And help us think about the impact we could have had by _not_ being respectful.
I was wondering if anyone else remembered them saying that in Trading Places!! I remember specifically them on the train in disguise as African students
THAT'S IT! I have no idea how you're ever gonna top this one. The music, the creators, the dance, the culture, the entire vibe. I felt uplifted, curious, thrilled and more. But that's just what made it to my eyes and ears. And heart. Kudos to the entire team for bringing it and literally making it real. Even the camera operator has attitude and is clearly loving the scene. I can imagine the editors going: "It's too long. Gotta cut, gotta cut. But not that." I really liked the drive there. Like WE were going there, going out for some ballroom. So many important details, never cluttered, never buried. Just the right amount of exposition and "talking head", then back inside for more. Yes, I especially liked that the background and explaining was being done outside! "Let's step out for a moment so we can talk." What a true gem. Works on so many levels. Thanks! PBS IS IN THE HOUSE!
You’re right there’s so many great moments we left on the cutting room floor! We had a blast in Nyc and almost every moment was like stepping into a world where magic is real.
@@SoundFieldPBS Just returned for my third viewing. HOW CAN THIS HAVE ONLY 14K VIEWS! I personally suck at social media, but this absolutely deserves more exposure, and maybe even a small ad buy. Then again, maybe I'm just more thrilled by this than most. I worked my way through college in the early 1980's, immediately got a good job, and for the first time in my life I had money to spend and time to spend as well. But I soon found I had zero social skills. I never previously had time or funds for much of a social life, and I was so busy I didn't feel much of a need. I loved to dance, but in the clubs I had trouble asking for dances. Worse yet, the clubs then were fairly predatory, and women would get defensive very easily, and for good reason. I really envied that women could go out onto the dance floor alone, or with other women, when the social norms of the day made that impossible for men. I once voiced this while getting a drink at the bar, and a guy I didn't know said: "There are clubs where you can do just that. But they're gay clubs. And they do welcome straight people, if you're cool about it." He mentioned one club that had Thursday "Bring Your Straight Friends" night. My desire to dance crushed my small fear of the unknown. And though I'm as straight as the day is long, I had no concerns at all. I simply viewed it as visiting another culture, something I had done many times while in the US Navy between high school and college. That first experience was everything I had hoped for, and more. Not only did I get to dance, but I also found I was accepted. I felt comfortable. Well, not all the time. I had to learn how to deal with men who found me attractive. I learned how to gracefully accept a drink from a man, yet do so with no hint of anything happening beyond friendship. I learned how to react to getting my butt pinched. And I learned how **not** to react to erect men rubbing up against me on the dance floor. Just turn away, turn away. Basically, I learned what women put up with all the time. And, frankly, those gay men knew how to hit on someone far better than any straight man I had ever met. Fortunately, that was just the novelty. The real core was the one simple social rule: "You accept and love me, as I am, and I accept and love you, as you are." Before long, I was being introduced as: "This is my friend Bob. He's not gay. Yet." I also met many self-described "fag hags", straight women who liked being around gay men. I met lesbians who took female lust to a level I had hardly contemplated: Testosterone ain't "all that". And all the pretty, pretty boys. And drag queens. In a place where race and age didn't matter at all. This new circle of friends was far wilder and more wonderful than I could ever have imagined for myself. And another thing: These folks hugged. They hugged for real, for at least a full breath. At every opportunity. I didn't realize I was suffering from an extreme case of "hug deprivation". I'm still taking treatments for it every chance I get! Eventually I started venturing back to what I was now calling the "straight clubs". Having an open heart changed everything. I stopped asking for dances from women who were being deluged with requests from horny men. I focused on those not dancing, yet looking longingly at the dance floor, much as I had spent so much time doing. Before I knew it, I was never off the dance floor! I made so many friends. Then women started asking me for a dance! I made a rule to always say "yes": No rejection ever, only acceptance. And I made more friends. I met and danced with their friends. Including their "pretty" friends. I was THAT guy: On the dance floor surrounded by women. Men started asking me how I did it. Rather than explain things, I told them to go to the gay clubs! Some asked me if I was gay. My answer? "Not yet!" None of these new friends became girlfriends. I simply was afraid of killing the magic. The best part was I didn't need or want them to be my girlfriends! I wanted them as good friends, as my "dance family". Much like how I had been accepted by the gay community. Not just accepted, but also shown how to be a better man. A much better man. Then AIDS hit. The gay community shattered, everyone afraid of this devastating epidemic. Being an engineer, I learned the facts, and wasn't scared away. Soon my friends in that community started getting sick and dying. People who had worked so hard to craft their own society within a larger culture that rejected them. I wound up being the friend who would run errands, would visit, would be there every minute I could. My new "dance family" supported me, always reminding me to keep the music on and my legs moving. I vividly remember the first time I was the only one there when a friend took his last breath. The grief and sadness gutted me, but was soon replaced by raging anger, that so many others were dying alone. So I went to my dance family and made the Big Ask: Join me. I then learned of PFLAG, and together we supported their efforts, especially their network that ensured nobody suffered or died hungry or alone. Eventually that black tide passed and the healing began. The gay community, and culture, reasserted itself. But many of the gay clubs had gone broke, and the social scene was greatly reduced. For a while. Seeing this ballroom video snapped me back to the exuberance I felt when I first danced in and with the gay community. That first viewing literally had me sitting on the edge of my seat, talking back to the video, shouting to the dancers: "You GO Girl!" It also had me simultaneously laughing and crying. Today's beauty mixing with memories from nearly 40 years ago in ways I hadn't expected. Maybe few can feel what I felt, which may explain the low view count. Nah. I still think it's a lack of exposure for this awesome video.
What really makes me love Sound Field is the thoughtful examination of culture that always accompanies the dissection of musical style. After watching this I feel, not necessarily smarter, but more connected to the people who share this world. There are elements and aspects of American life that are utterly foreign to me, completely outside of my experience, and I desperately want everyone to have that same realization.
These are exactly the things we spoke about when we started this series. When we first got together we just wrote on the board: FUN. But then we went further and decided we wanted to focus on history and the importance of culture in the music we listen to.
I've actually listened to a house song that mentions a "House of Dupree", didn't realise that this is a voguing house! I assumed it was fashion but now the song makes much more sense
It's funny how I have been collecting vogue tracks since way back when and now it's all the rave. I am grateful to see the representation, familiarity, and joy exhibited in this coverage! Thank you PBS, this and Say It Loud are really IT!
WOW THOSE WERE THE DAYS IN 1980 WHEN I STARTED GOING TO THE PIERS. I NOW AM 55 YEARS OLD. STILL LIVING AND KICKING IT. RIP FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO USED TO BATTLE AT THE PIERS AND ARE NO LONGER WITH US.
@@SoundFieldPBS Yes Sound Field. Also forgot to mention Studio 54 Funhouse Better Days and more. My Final years were at Webster Hall and Sound FACTORY. My Best day were at the Legendary Infamous Paradise GARAGE with LARRY LEVAN. Thanks for REMINISCING. I appreciate it. On Sound Cloud I have a demo called Believe Check it out Under Santo Sud......titled Believe
I am shocked. I thought you were going to talk about ballroom LOL I did not know this subcultural manifestation even exists (i am not American and do not live in America). I love it, now I can see how many of the mainstream music and even dancing has been influenced by ballroom. Great episode. LA was in the ZONE and Nahre was learning. Great job guys!!
I have been following Ballroom for 8 years and never knew where "The HA" came from! So thank you for that! Would love for you to feature the Commentators that merge with the music & get the kids UP! Like Kevin JV Prodigy, Selvin, Jack and a few more.
One word Fabulous In every sense of that word! I am most definitely an outsider to this culture but I am so, so glad that this exists, that there are places LIKE this, so that people who feel different can still feel safe and loved no matter what. I had no idea about this. And now I do know and I can try to find out if there are any in my own area and support them any way I can.
Ball culture is a place for black and Latino LGBTQI to come together in New York, they have their own space, where there is no prejudice or judgement, which they may encounter in other spaces like racism.
I love the way Sound Field exposes me to all sorts of new genres/cultures. It's really fascinating and both of you (and your production crew) do such an awesome job :D
Got here from PBS Space Time and watching this show since ep 1. I really love this concept, also the 'contrast' from the hosts. It's gettin' better and better each episode! Keep up the good work, greetings from The Netherlands!
I think it's equally ironic that Dan Aykroyd in blackface is connected in any possible way to an actual black underground scene. What the hell is going on in Trading Places?
I love New York. So much culture that reaches and inspires others worldwide and it just grows. The respect for the culture is so rich here I love it truly.
QWEEN BEATS!!!! I get ready for all of my super fun events while listening to your music, extra loud!!! It's OVAHHHHHH!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR Artistry!!!
8:45 It's kind of baffling that Nahre is such an open minded, talented and versatile musician but had never seen a DAW like fruityloops before. I had a similar experience with a young, classical schooled music scientist I had a conversation with, who didn't know what MIDI is. They really need to explain this stuff in music schools, I mean, no matter what kind of music you prefer, sequencing changed the artform as a whole in a biiiiig way. EDIT: Love this video btw, and didn't want to sound mean or so. Actually love the whole channel!
shout out fruity loops.. and keep in mind that isn't the only recording software out there... once you learn the theory of DAWs you will understand all DAWs, they all work to do the same thing for the mix. this topic is very important for DJs and Producers today
love this so much - I've learned about the ballroom scene before but this has given me the most in depth, and from a very interesting perspective. love the people you talked to, the explanations of certain vernacular that comes from ballroom, and the beautiful shots of the dancing.
That beat when you start revealing the structure under the beats, and we're like, damn.. oh daaamn. And then we're like, seeing it, and seeing ourselves as we're seeing it.., and we're like, goddam. Not only did you lay it down so it's immediately crystallizing, but you saw it in a screen of dots on the first damn beat. That beat right there That's what I love about this show. I couldn't imagine this program working without you two and y'all's genius insights
Omg thank you so much for this video!! I got invited to one last month and we had a fukn blast! That was soo much fun. The energy the vibes the TALENT in that room was unbelievable. So many legends in this video! MikeQ is the goat! Been listening to vogue beats ever since! The best! I want to be in one of those songs. Gets me so hyped loll
Love the sincere parting message, hope the music doesn't get exploited, these folks are wise they've seen how electronic dance culture gets used and thrown aside like how ghettotech and footwork was flavour of the month once upon a time.
This was fantastic! Love learning about new things outside of my own little world. Especially when it comes to music and dance. This was my first episode, look forward to watching the rest!
This is absolutely amazing. Learning about voguing and how it has been created and used by black and LatinX trans and LGBTQ+ folk as a way to connect, protect one another and form a family makes my heart swell. This shit is beautiful. ;~;
This documentary was just nominated for a Webby and you can vote for it here bit.ly/2KGbLcD ! please help us spread the love
Well done. Love it!
just voted. Good luck!
I was going to vote just now, turns out you won

Any chance you know the song they were freaking out to backstage about the sample? I need to hear the full track!
.
I adore the old way!
Klopfenpop music I think it’s some remix of the next episode by dr Dre and snoop. I’d start there and look for jersey club versions of that.
I need you guys to be WAY bigger than y'all are, like seriously this channel is attentive, sensitive, educational, analytical and the hosts always seem super cool
Help us get the word out! We need it toooo
So respectful and really focused on introducing and making connections! I hope you strengthen and create bonds that we get to see fostered further thru your channel!

Got to hand it to the hosts they really do their job well.
Thanks Kingsley. We're working HARD
Great segment!!
I could have watched a full hour of this.
Easily....
No matter where we are or what we doing, it's always trending. I love my people. I'm proud of how we make a way out of no way.
WE LOVE YOU BACK SIS!
Agreed...our people has been able to make lemonade out of 'dirt' since slavery...you give us sweet potatoes...we make sweet potato pie.
We are honored to host House of Vogue & MikeQ at our venue every month :) Thanks for coming to shoot in our venue!
We need this weekly!!
When are you going to start up again!? 🥺

Pose introduced me to the whole underground ball scene.
Sooo...Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd were the Godfathers behind the biggest ballroom track ever😁interesting and hilarious 🤔😂🤣I love it!!!

The irony of Eddie Murphy being connected to the popular vogue track.
I think it's equally ironic that Dan Aykroyd in blackface is connected in any possible way to an actual black underground scene. What the hell is going on in Trading Places?
@Othniel McClinic yes it is a good movie I agree with you on that
This is the one if the best videos that I've seen on subject of Vogue and Ballroom culture!
My favorite episode yet! As much as I love horror, this is the content I love to see!
EJ glad you're still watching! You would've loved to be on scene with us
That drop made the camera lens shake. Damn.
i’m so happy qweenbeat is finally getting the recognition they deserve
You kidding me ? Heard about vogue dancing yesterday. And today Sound Field uploads a video on it ? Awesome stuff
A mysterious world
Amazing episode. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!
You are the best!
I love New York. So much culture that reaches and inspires others worldwide and it just grows. The respect for the culture is so rich here I love it truly.
QWEEN BEATS!!!! I get ready for all of my super fun events while listening to your music, extra loud!!! It's OVAHHHHHH!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR Artistry!!!
This was a really great episode. Why have I never heard of this?
It's slept on
Because they don't want straight people to steal or ruin it as their own
Yaaaassss!!! Thank you for this episode, I enjoyed it very much😍
That's amazing thanks for watching Filip
Qween Beat deserves all the things!!!
That Art Of Noise crash track is wearing my hole OUT! Zang Tumb Tumb realness for $100, Alex!!!
8:45 It's kind of baffling that Nahre is such an open minded, talented and versatile musician but had never seen a DAW like fruityloops before. I had a similar experience with a young, classical schooled music scientist I had a conversation with, who didn't know what MIDI is. They really need to explain this stuff in music schools, I mean, no matter what kind of music you prefer, sequencing changed the artform as a whole in a biiiiig way.
EDIT: Love this video btw, and didn't want to sound mean or so. Actually love the whole channel!
shout out fruity loops.. and keep in mind that isn't the only recording software out there... once you learn the theory of DAWs you will understand all DAWs, they all work to do the same thing for the mix. this topic is very important for DJs and Producers today
What’s fruityloops?
Thank you for bringing this inspirational and wonderful culture out to more audiences! Keep up the great work guys!
Thank you Jaizen!!!!!!
love this so much - I've learned about the ballroom scene before but this has given me the most in depth, and from a very interesting perspective. love the people you talked to, the explanations of certain vernacular that comes from ballroom, and the beautiful shots of the dancing.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve always liked ballroom tracks! Crazy energy!
That beat when you start revealing the structure under the beats, and we're like, damn.. oh daaamn. And then we're like, seeing it, and seeing ourselves as we're seeing it.., and we're like, goddam. Not only did you lay it down so it's immediately crystallizing, but you saw it in a screen of dots on the first damn beat.
That beat right there
That's what I love about this show.
I couldn't imagine this program working without you two and y'all's genius insights
Imaging vogueing and seeing nahre walk in
i am LIVING for this. Good work guys
Thanks Aman!
Wow, what great moments in love! This really shows an art of noise. Honestly, a fabulous scene and feature!
This is such a wonderful series.
THANK YOU FOR THIS EPSIODE!!!!!!
I loved this! Now I wish someday I'll be able to travel to NY and experience the ballroom scene for myself.
Perhaps there's a local ball scene in your area!
Sound Field, I’ll definitely look for it!
This was the most accurate youtube mini documentary i've seen about ballroom and voguing tbh
Really enjoying this series. I had no idea this scene even existed. Thanks for introducing me to this fabulous sub culture.
Really glad you are enjoying it. You’re welcome!
Finally! Ballroom musics deserve more attention!
I enjoyed this so much. I never heard about this genre.
Glad to introduce you!
Thank you for showing me something old is new. I love what you guys are doing here.
Don’t stop.
We appreciate you Dave
Omg thank you so much for this video!! I got invited to one last month and we had a fukn blast! That was soo much fun. The energy the vibes the TALENT in that room was unbelievable. So many legends in this video! MikeQ is the goat! Been listening to vogue beats ever since! The best! I want to be in one of those songs. Gets me so hyped loll
Sometimes I don’t understand RUclips recommendations but when they get it right, they get it right it RIGHT!!
Watching this gives me all sorts of good feelings 😊 thank you
That’s amazing ! Thanks Brenden
Love the sincere parting message, hope the music doesn't get exploited, these folks are wise they've seen how electronic dance culture gets used and thrown aside like how ghettotech and footwork was flavour of the month once upon a time.
I aint goona lie...it looks fire
This is so great to learn about such an unknown piece of culture.
It’s magic
Omg thank u for this I love you two, your guests and whoever helps produce with y'all so much!!
im glad divo is in here, he’s a performer!
An amazing dancer!!!
I remember voguing as far back as the piers in the west village. Wonderful seeing this gain international attention.
WOWOWOW THANK YOU!!
I love u Mike Q!!!
I love this show!
Really well done, thanks.
Every time I see these videos I’m like am i the only person with knees like this? Like it makes my knees pop just looking at this video
Love these hosts
This was fantastic! Love learning about new things outside of my own little world. Especially when it comes to music and dance. This was my first episode, look forward to watching the rest!
Love this episode - told the story so well.
Pose’s ballroom scenes make sense now
I loved this so much! I love art forms, and dance is very expressive.
Wow so this rly explains rupaul's drag race historical background
This. Is. Amazing.
One of my favourite channels on one of my favourite topics plus amazing Mike Q, thank you guys.
This is absolutely amazing. Learning about voguing and how it has been created and used by black and LatinX trans and LGBTQ+ folk as a way to connect, protect one another and form a family makes my heart swell. This shit is beautiful. ;~;
I've heard that trading places sample all over the place, happy to learn about the culture it's from.
Amazing video! So well explained C:
Nahre, grats on the PBS gig! This was great! Your other RUclips channel is one of the very best out there, hands down!
great video. and very entertaining in the days of Sound Factory nightclub on 27th street in NYC back in the 90's.
Definitely iconic music, belongs to NYC absolutely! Thank you NYC for blessing the world with these killer beats
oh wow, i didnt know Jersey Club was implicated into ballroom music these days. Thats cool asf
So fabulous to watch!
