What type of dance do drag queens do?

The type of dance that drag queens do is a style known as “vogueing” or Vogue dance which presents gender as a performance.

Drag dancing involves physical stunts, stretching, contortion, and mime in an extremely energetic manner.

Drag clothing typically involves exaggerated masculinity, femininity, or other forms of gender expression.

Dressing in drag refers to the practice of men dressing in clothing typically associated with women and vice versa. Drag is also a subculture in the LGBTQ+ community. This can include clothing, makeup, and accessories.

The term Drag originated in 19th-century British theatre slang and was used to describe men wearing women’s clothing. Drag is used to challenge traditional gender norms whilst exploring one’s own gender identity.

In the early 20th century, drag began to flourish with minstrel shows and vaudeville. William Dorsey Swann was the first person to call himself the “queen of drag”.

RuPaul’s Drag Race which first premiered in 2009 as a television show in the United States has exposed multiple generations of audiences to drag culture.
