Exactly a week ago Finnish dance organization held its annual street championship preselection in Helsinki. The competed categories were: woman's solo, Duos, Hip hop small groups (both adults and juniors) and Showcase.
Me and my colleague Anneli Ninja Kanninen had the chance to do a voguing showcase for a group called Voguing Vamps. Previous years the choreographer was Virpi Kurki aka our vogue mom.
The project started at the end of 2013. Me and Anneli were super excited to work together and even more excited to work with these AMAZING LADIES! This group of women are if you can say the wonder woman's of Finland. Despite the fact that the average age of this group is 45, these ladies have more balls than most of you guys. They are sassy, classy sometimes a bit nasty. Let me introduce you to the one only VOGUING VAMPS <3

The idea for the showcase came to us when we went to see a Dragshow called Showhat! Jarkko Valtee and Osku Heiskanen impersonated almost 50 different woman in their 2 hour show.
The result was this --> Cher, Britney Spears, Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Sini Sabotage
