Vogue Mini-Doc Takes You Inside New York\u2019s Contemporary Ballroom Scene<\/b><\/p>\n

\"maxresdefault\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s been 25 years since Paris Is Burning<\/em>, Jennie Livingston’s award-winning 1991 documentary about New York’s drag ball culture, made stars of talents like Willie Ninja and legends of personalities like Dorian Corey<\/a> and Venus Xtravaganza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The city’s ball scene is still going strong, thanks to a whole new generation of club kids and performers inspired by the cult classic — and in some instances in spite of it<\/a> — so we’re long overdue for an update.<\/p>\n

Now Thump<\/em> — Vice Media’s<\/em> channel devoted to electronic music and club culture — has teamed up with Axe for Night Visions<\/em>, a look at the contemporary ball scene<\/a> and its stars.<\/p>\n

While Paris Is Burning<\/em> spotlighted events in Harlem ballrooms, the first episode of this three-part mini doc brings the action downtown. We get a peek at promoter Jack Mizrahi’s Vogue Knights at XL Nightclub — inside Manhattan’s infamous Out Hotel<\/a> — a kind of weekly workshop for vogue performances that attracted stars like Rihanna<\/a> and Janelle Monae in its original location at the now-shuttered 39th Street club Esquelita. Meanwhile, the children on the runway at Symba McQueen’s Red Ball basically redefine the word “fierce.”<\/p>\n
