Dancers take over Philadelphia subway with ‘Voguing Train’
theGRIO VIDEO - Director and choreographer Kemar Jewel, teamed up with fellow Voguers Hayden Jones, Keisha Lewis, Robert Otis, Davon Smith, and Ibrahim Vicks, for a flash mob style Voguing video shot in and around a Philadelphia SEPTA train station.
You might think you know a thing or two about ‘voguing,’ but just wait until you see this new viral video capturing the underground culture of the gay ballroom scene.
Director and choreographer Kemar Jewel teamed up with fellow voguers Hayden Jones, Keisha Lewis, Robert Otis, Davon Smith and Ibrahim Vicks for a flash mob-style voguing video shot in and around a Philadelphia SEPTA train station.
“I made the video to show that anywhere can be a performance area,” Jewel said in a statement to The Huffington Post. “I am a member of Philadelphia’s Black Gay Ballroom Scene, and I wanted to showcase all of its creativity and talent. Also, since voguing and the Ballroom Scene is an ‘underground scene,’ why not put it underground, literally! The video was filmed in a flash mob style to avoid getting arrested by the transit police. Sometimes you just have to take risks for your art.”
