In a world that often asks us to fit in, voguing invites us to stand out, to speak boldly without saying a word, to move from the center of who we are, and to let our essence be seen.
Dance goes beyond choreography. Voguing in particular is a visceral, intuitive language that gives form to emotions, memories, and inner stories. It is how we express joy, sadness, power, humor, or softness, through movement.
We may dance to songs with lyrics, but it’s how we interpret those lyrics through our bodies that reveals our truth. Every gesture, every beat, every can be a message from the soul. Whether improvised or shaped by technique, movement becomes a mirror of what lives deep within.
Today we explore what lies at the heart of voguing and self-expression.
1. The Aura: Your Energetic Signature
Each of us has a subtle, unseen energy that surrounds us and moves within us at all times.
It is shaped by emotion, intention, experience, and soul.
Voguing brings this aura into motion and makes it visible.
It reveals how we carry ourselves, how we enter a room, and how we react to the world.
This aura doesn’t need to be built or constructed.
It is already there, waiting to be acknowledged and freed.
It changes constantly, like an artist changing costume, mood, or makeup.
When we are unblocked and feeling free, our aura flows with ease.
It colors everything we do, from the inside out.
Just like light bends into different colors, your aura has a unique tone and shade.
It is a signature blend of energies that exists only within you.
Some may feel disconnected from this energetic truth, and that’s understandable.
The weight of past wounds or constant societal pressure can dull our connection to the self.
But through movement, especially through dance as expressive as voguing, we can begin to reconnect.
We reawaken our essence and start to tell our story again, through motion and intention.
As we recognize our aura, we begin to rediscover our personal story.
And slowly, that story begins to move.
2. Move From The CORE
For those who still feel shy or uncertain about accessing their aura or expressing their truth through movement, let’s take it from concept to experience.
Yes, we each have an aura, a radiant presence that shines out. But where does it come from? And how does it move? One of the most vivid examples of this is Michael Jackson. His iconic performances weren’t just about sharp moves or perfect rhythm. They were about where the movement originated. You could sense that his gestures came from deep within. They came from his core, from his breath, from the space between his solar plexus and his heart.
This is where your movement, your aura, truly begins: not in your limbs, but in your center.
Try this:
Place your hands gently on your belly. Take a deep breath into this area and feel the rise.
As you exhale, imagine the breath and energy traveling upward. Let your spine ripple softly, your chest lift, your neck lengthen.
Let the feeling reach your head. As you exhale completely, raise your head up toward the sky. Feel that energy release through your crown and into the heavens.
This undulating, breath-led motion awakens something subtle but powerful. It connects your core to your higher self. And it doesn’t stop at the upper body.
You can also ground it:
With your hands still on your belly, breathe in deeply again.
On the exhale, guide the energy downward through your hips, into your legs, and all the way to your feet.
Move as if you’re pouring yourself into the ground, solid and rooted.
This practice turns movement into meditation. It’s not about being seen, it’s about feeling your truth before you show it. Over time, the more you embody your movement like this, the more your aura naturally shines.

3. Claiming Space Unapologetically
Once your truth is felt and your aura begins to shine, a powerful shift happens: you start to claim space. Unapologetically. Not out of ego, but from necessity. You see that your presence matters, that your expression has weight, that your story deserves the floor.
In voguing culture, this isn’t just allowed, it’s celebrated. Every step, every spin, every pose says “I am here.” And in that claiming, something liberating unfolds: you inspire others to do the same.
Show them how strong you received and responded to the world around you.
Now imagine this: your favorite artist makes a movement, or speaks a piece of poetry that strikes you right at the core. Somehow, they’ve expressed exactly what you’re feeling, even if they did it in their own unique way. That’s not coincidence, it’s connection.
In that moment, you realize you’re not alone. You are not misunderstood. There are others who feel just like you. They may not have the words for it, but they will recognize it when they see it. And that’s why your expression matters.
By unblocking the parts of your body and soul that want to move, speak, and shine, you become a living example. Even if no one is watching, your authenticity adds to the collective field. But if someone does see you, your truth might unlock theirs. It could awaken something in them they didn’t even know was waiting to be freed.
That is the quiet power of unapologetic presence.
4. Dance Truth
There are many styles of dance, and each has the power to bring us together. But what makes dance truly powerful is when it becomes a reflection of who we are. Even if you learn formal steps, it’s your essence that breathes life into them. Voguing reminds us that we are not here to conform, but to create, connect, and radiate.
This is not just movement. It is memory, magic. It is truth in motion.
