Public Moves: Vogue Out
with Besos007

Thu 07.08., 17.00h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

In reference to the origin of the dance style, developed within the ballroom scene in Harlem, New York, around the 1980s, various elements are tried out in this Voguing class: hands performance, catwalk, duckwalk, floor performance and spin/dip. Structured with warm-up exercises, technique drills and choreography sessions, the emphasis is on fostering self-expression, creativity and building confidence.

Public Moves dance classes take place outdoors every day – international and local instructors share their knowledge of everything from jazz and Bollywood dance to waacking in free outdoor classes. No previous experience is necessary, and all ages and levels are welcome!

Registration begins one day before the course starts at 11:00 a.m. via the calendar or by telephone on +43.1.523 55 58-19. If a class is ‘fully booked’, there is still the possibility of securing a remaining place on site. It's worth dropping by!

Biography 

Originally from and living in Montreal, Brian Mendez has always had an interest in the art of dance and it was first in urban dance that he began his training. At 20, he attended the Urban-Element Zone dance studio (2013) where he took classes in Hip-hop, Waacking and Dancehall. A little later, he did a pre-university program in contemporary dance at Collège Montmorency (2014-2016), before beginning his training at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal (2016-2019). It was during his studies at the EDCM that Brian discovered Voguing, a style born in Harlem, New York by the Latin American and Afro-American LGBTQ+ community. This dance becomes for him a form of expression that brings together an entire community. At EDCM, Brian had the chance to collaborate with Kyra Jean Green, Edgar Zendejas, Darryl Tracy, Catherine Tardif, Virginie Brunelle, Iker Arrue and Marie Béland. A graduate of EDCM, Brian continues his education on Voguing and its culture in order to share it in Montreal. In addition, he has worked with Sebastien Provencher (Children of chemistry), Le Carré des Lombes (UNFOLD / 7 perspectives) and more recently with Clara Furey on Dog Rising that premiered at FTA in 2021.
