THE GLOBAL DANCE PHENOMENON COMES TO HONG KONG WITH NEW YORK’S TRAILBLAZER DJ MIKEQ For one night only, WOOBAR will be transformed into a decadent NYC ballroom for a hedonistic, all-immersive themed party, headlined by the infamous leaders of the musical movement of ‘Voguing’ today on November 15, 2014(Saturday). The artistic dance known as Voguing has been sweeping underground clubs of New York and the East Coast since the 80s, and remains one of the most influential subcultures today. In elaborate ‘ball’ competitions, dancers battled each other aka ‘walked’ on the dancefloor for the glory of their ‘house’, in the spirit of a model on the catwalk. Popularised in the mainstream by Malcolm McLaren and Madonna’sVogue, this revival of ballroom culture became world-famous for its glamorous and distinctive look, and has made its way to fashion with luxury houses such as Versace and Moschino to fashion magazine Nowness’ ballroom battles concept featuring Mugler, Balenciaga vs McQueen. For the first time in Hong Kong, we will stage the epic ballroom, bringing over the modern day pioneers leading the return of the scene: New York producers, DJs & MC personalities - MikeQ of the cult Qween Beat label, Diplo’s Mad Decent and L.A.'s Fade To Mind, award-winning world-famous Voguer Dashaun Wesley of the House of Evisu, and Rushmore, the DJ and co-founder of East London club brand House of Trax/Trax Couture, one of the first parties in the UK championing the unique sound. In true W style and part of W Hong Kong's new White Label event series showcasing the best in emerging talents, the Vogue House Ball sponsored by Absolut Elyx will be a decadent, glamorous party fusing music and fashion. With the DJs and MCs playing fun vocalJersey Club style R'n'B edits, Future Grime, Booty & Juke House to Chicago Footwork, a league of Voguers will ‘walk’ down our red carpet dancefloor with guests in an opulent 90s dress code to join in.
