Werque Podcast

Luis and Kim take it back and trace Voguing’s early beginnings in the underground ballroom scene - where ball ‘children’ like Willi NInja and Paris Dupree would do battle on the dance floor - to its explosion on the world stage after “Paris is Burning’ was released and a certain boundary-pushing popstar handpicked two dancers from the House of Xtravaganza to be in the video for a little song called “Vogue’.  We talk about how Voguing evolved from that watershed moment into three distinctive styles - and how Luis ain’t about to do death drops.

Luis Camacho & Kim Blackwell explain what “Werque” means and why they thought their regular chat + kiki sessions might just make a good podcast.  Luis talks about his life as a child and how he became a famous dancer. 

Each week, Luis Camacho AKA Luis Xtravaganza and Kim Blackwell share inspiring stories from people ‘werque-ing’ it on daily  - whether it’s on the world stage - or backstage; they center the stories of creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, and more who found their own unique voice and created space for themselves and those who came after them.
