Learn How to Death Drop - Inside Drag
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2017
- Drag may not be a contact sport, but these queens are not afraid to put their bodies on the line.
If you've ever been to a drag show, you know gender-bending is just one aspect of the performance. Elaborate lip-syncing plays a pivotal role during a queen's set on stage, and throughout these performances, one particular dance move has been known to slay the stage.
It's called a "death drop," and it's no small feat.
We wanted to better understand this show-stopping maneuver, so we went to RuPaul's DragCon in NYC to ask some of our favorite queens if they could teach us how to master it. Behold: the infamous death drop.
Bob showing her the technique and actually lying on the floor with her shows how genuinely nice Bob is.
I was about to comment about how nice Bob was being, she's so friendly!
This didn't age well. Even when u commented this all the tea was out about him smh
Whats the tea?@@micaretakersuxaz
@@micaretakersuxazwhat happened?
@@bluecircle06idk probably that he hates white people. He even commented "you have turned this into a Martha Stuart jazzercise class"
Trixie staying unbothered while she falls roughly into the floor is a mood
My friends when they fall and expect sympathy: *the girl falling*
Me standing there going on my rant without caring: *trixie being unbothered*
Nah jp lol
I love how bob literally got on the floor to show her how to do it hands down my favorite forever!
Sweet queen
Bob is love, right?
Same
Bob the drag queen is the best in the business.
❤️Bob❤️
The realization that this is less painful for someone wearing pads is an earth shattering moment for my brain.
i need a helmet tho
@@cosmicrussiandoll oof same. Looks like that shit would hurt real bad
@@cosmicrussiandollyou just need a big fluffy wig! 👌
Bob's actually a good teacher lol
Ikr
Cause he cares!
I think he used to work with children’s theatre, so it makes sense!
Yas he was all about it!
She’s my favourite queen I named my Guinea pig after her
Laganja: no girl I can't just teach you how to death drop
Bob: Okay girl
Bob is soo nice

Wtf is going here ??
Honesty tho, bob's teaching skills we're on point and laganja's video was beyond enough for you to learn actually and she sweated a lot for that class
RoA Bob was the best one teaching it.
300th like
How you gonna do a video about death drops and not even talk to Shangela?
Nic Chauvin i know right
The first queen EVER to death drop on the show and sent two bitches home with a quickness
carlos non-ya with THE quickness
That part!
U right
Just so everyone knows: it’s called a dip, not a death drop or a shablam. It comes from the ballroom scene and was NOT invented by drag queens. It’s one of the five elements of vogue (dance style). You want to see some real dips? Look up Leiomy Maldonado.
Or Inxi Prodigy
I was waiting for this comment! Bless you!
i thought its kinda like a variation of it. the difference that i saw is that when doing death drop u dont have to raise your one leg and you actually lay flat unlike dip that you kinda arch your back. and dip is more technical to do it perfectly but then it probably depends on the voguer
Thank you!
Thank you! Also known as a Macaella dip
"you just turned this into a martha Stewart jazzersize class" had me dyinggg
This was HILARIOUS her commitment makes the whole video. 👍
D snacks yes she was dedicated asf
saw the thumbnail. knew it was bob. fucking clicked that shit so fast mawmuh.
All of them (except "yes mama") was very helpful but Bob the Dragqueen was amazing
Bob is a genuinely nice person, one of my favorite queens to be on the show
Y-you better COVER GIRL
I love Bob I can't 😂
*2:35** me when waking up*
This made me laugh for a lot longer than I anticipated
OH MY I'M LAUGHING SO HARD
IM WEAK😂😂😂😂
Im wheezing
This SENT ME💀💀😂😂
Ok, but no one actually talked about the transition from standing to going on the ground.
Bob was probably the most helpful, at least.
I’m actually so happy cause when I first watched this I had seen like 3 episodes of the show and 3 years later re-watching this I’m genuinely shook that I know all of the queens in this vid like it’s so crazy how I paid no attention and now I’m like ‘TRIXIE, DETOX, LAGANJA, CYNTHIA, SASHA, TODRICK, JIGGLY, INDIA’
who else started doing it too in their living room?
Edit: I broke my ankle
*claps*
*thumbs up sis*
I broke four ribs and fractured my toes
@@J0YI I broke my spine, fractured my tailbone, snapped my neck, lost my wig, and punched out both eyes
No
The last drop is kinda good
friend: **shoots me with a fake gun**
me: **does this death drop!**
friend:wow u did it very great , now get up!
me:yea sure **feels pain and can't get up** wait I can't get up
friend:oh so it was a real gun **RUNS**
kpopsugarpop crickets....
Shot's me? Joke sucks
I like kpop too
...sis...
Uhm ...ok?😶
I love how Bob is so nice to teach her, but then she can make fun of her and still have her feel like she’s in on the joke
Really laganja... all the queens helped her.. but you... smh girl smh!
Laganja is just full of herself
Genesis Lopez that actually pissed me off a little too
Genesis Lopez I know right!!!!
Come on guys, that was obviously staged.
Bitch that was obviously staged, probably off camera she gave her THE lesson.
lmao they included Phi Phi’s death recline I’m dead
Time stamps?
DEATH R E C L I N E
Debi Dooms 0:38
2:40 she was asking for help to get up and he said no no 😂😂
Ok but if i tried to do the death drop my knee would literally bust open
Bob is so much nicer than Lastranga.
Obviously, but I'm pretty sure that she was just joking around.
It's Laganja!!!
Lastranga 😂😂😂
Always :3
I live for BOB THE DRAG QUEEN, Such a kind person and a really funny queen, one of the best winners!
2:43 that's kinda good 👏👏
1:15 me helping my friend when they get hurt in a public place
😂
this was 100% adorable
A broken ankle would've made this iconic lol #girl #donttryit #youbreakit #thenyoubuyit
Edit:
Girl btw Todrick Hall? - honiee..
Nails, acrylic
straight nails, gay nails, love nails, hate nails, your nails, my nails, as long as there's a nail
I just want to thank this video for existing because somehow TH-cam recommended me this when I didn't know sh*t about death drops, RPDR or drag queens. After seeing this video I felt intrigued and watched RPDR S06E01 and I cried the whole episode because I was so happy to see men having the same interest as me : makeup, fashion, dancing, (boys)... It was around a year ago and I've now binge watched all the seasons twice. Ik this is irrelevant lol but this video makes me emotional

Cynthia: how you doing mis amores this is Cynthia Lee Fontaine
Subtitles: how you doing miss this is Angela
JOANNE THE SCAMMER YES BITCHHHHHH

Lelle 0815 yess 😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾
Iconic
Girl..... I ain’t gonna say nuthin. Bc I’m fat as hell and not flexible. So you did 10 times better than me. I would get broken.
Kandy Kane even the fattest person in the world can be flexible xD
Kandy Kane Um fat people can death drop lol
If Mystique Summers Madison can do the jumpsplits, anyone can deathdrop.
@@rotombomb64 Mystique did it and everyone was the epitome of shook.
You have plenty of padding and don't need to be that flexible, you'll be fine. One shouldn't do the jump splits though, that tends to lead to pelvis injuries and hip replacements eventually.
Thank you so much for this, me and my friend have a dance performance tomorrow and I didn’t know how to do a death drop but now I can do one perfectly. ❤
this is literally how i discovered drag and I was only in 6th grade. Since then, I am OBSESSED with drag... very thankful that I discovered this video❤️
What did we learn? Not all queens death drop, and not all queens that do death drop are willing to teach you for free.
Bob, the only queen who actually goes down to the floor to explain the move! Humble and not afraid to be destroyed!
All of the queens were more than humble to help, what amazing drag queens they are 😍😍😍😍😍
2:10 trixie is iconic
Trixie is queen
Ok but no one is actually showing her how to do a death drop.
The queens are in full drag and they have to do meet & greets plus panels all day, I don’t think they would really want to.
eric browne bob did
Except for bob
Ok but her death drop at 2:45 was significantly better than any of the previous ones she's done?? Good for her I'm low key impressed. Bob's a good teacher 🤗
Ask for Bob's help to stand up.
Bob: No, No!
1:14 Bebe looked sooo disgusted! 😂😂😂
I got a little too excited when Todrick popped up.
WHY IS YOUR HAIR SO COOL OH MY GOD
for some reason i always thought drag queens would be really mean/intimidating, but they all seem so nice in this video- crying in the club rn
"That is pretty good, look like it hurts"
Where are those pants from tho
I saw some like that at old navy
Shop
I could have broken you!
That's what he said.
Lukinhaas Mendonça she*
RedHexxmaster it*
Trixie was so sweet about that painful drop haha
Yo i needed this for my foldable chair cosplay tysm
Cmon season six let's get SICKENING
lolly lummi okurrrr
I read this as she said it
It's called a Dip not a Death Drop.
Vogue is about instilling confidence with every figure, not fear.
Hun, A dip is when your VOGUING, in a drag performance and you do an dip it’s primarily called a DEATHDROP. same meaning : different uses
@@Dylan-nx4id but use the wrong way to dip and get hurt, no one can help you. Suggest people go to studio learn vogue to make sure what you do carefully.
Thank you oml
@@v087341658 still, in drag it's called a deathdrop, not a dip like in vogue
Actually this is a common dance move used in majorette dance. It is in fact called a death drop
In the industry of ballroom, it's actually called THE DIP.
💜💜 #thevelvetloungelife 💜💜
CoMe On SeAsOn 6 LeTs GeT SiCkEnIngggg!! *Death drops*
2:18 *THE THHHWORRP IM DYYYING* 😂😂

Poor girl kept falling on the floor💀💀😂
1:45 “that looked like it hurt” 😂
Ofc Trixie thinks it wasn’t that bad
I KNEW BOB WOULD COME THROUGH AND ACTUALLY TEACH!!! MY QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS
“Yaaaas that’s a Death drop honey” 😂😂
The time I tried I popped out and popped back in my knee
*cringe*
Omg
The one where you kind of slid into it with Bob was really good! This was entertaining, AND informative!
Okay, but I can’t stop laughing at 2:34 literally Thorgy can say it’s the Bob show but the Bob show is all I want 😂😂
BOB NOT HELPING HER UP KILLS
the spongebob krusty krab training video sound effects 😂
*breaks leg*
Almost Adulting *and back*
lmaoooo
*and neck*
*pussy*
This is why Bob is the most liked. He actually showed her.
1:07 I’m already dying of laughter. God I love these people so much
the one wish bob where you slid into it seemed the most smooth
OK but it's called a dip
ðeρy ps NO ONE CARES WHAT IS CALLED
In drag it's called a deathdrop, and in vogue it's called a dip
@@BBaaaaa Fuck drag race...the DIP was born with voguing
and now it’s called a shablam i guess. language changes, people change, meh i always heard deathdrop though
yeah yeah yeah potato potato who gives a fuck
I went to a martial arts camp today, and when I did a head kick, I accidentally death dropped! LOL
I remember watching this before watching RPDR.
After watching every single season this is a better video than before.
I haven‘t finished season 9 yet but thanks to this video I already know the winner... whoopdeedoo. At least my queen won.
