New Way, Old Way, & arms/hands performance were the standard. You HAD to know the true elements of vogue to not get chopped! These children now-a-days just learn a few dips and spins and think that's vogueing!
That would be amazing! I feel that the scene has been "watered down" by the "new" kids trying to make vogue into something that it's not. No shade. I just don't see why the scene has not evolved into something better with so many great voguers around. I remember when you had to actually vogue to walk a ball!
its fierce when you take something that others work hard for and call it your own with out paying homage now but everyone has there own way to think i just speak my mind
Trust, I know who the REAL icons are... you forget that I am old school, and have looked up to the afore mentioned icons and legends, not to mention the fact that I learned from them. Like I said, I see your point, and agree after hearing that he doesn't give back or acknowledge the scene.
And also the icons are jose x luis x derrick x willi ninja paris dupre Adrian x luna khan hector x the people that open door's for people like him and me he has yet to get to that level people died for this to stay alive and i feel not anyone should be called an icon now mind you does not even give not back to the ballroom other then making money off it
Yes trust and believe i know that you were around when the time has the best voguers it just gets me mad cause theres much more to what people dont know cause they dont see it feel me but trust and believe best are coming back out to show the reason there still here
Its no shade been featured on a tv show is not much mind you serve better then most of the kid i thank you not ever performance is the same how can you be an icon mind you take something from the ballroom but say your not ballroom he has yet to even battle anyone in the ballroom scene most of the kid that did are no longer here those are the true icons no shade it takes alot for the word its self to be placed on a person and he has not been around that long to be honest

ITO NINJA BRANG EDWIN IN THE HOUSE OF NINJA & then FELT like he was better than everyone even to the ppl who taught him the skills that he has til this day . Then went to XTRVAGANZA where you Disrespected the Father. So before you talk about ppl talk shit about yourself YOUR NOT A SAINT. WE HAVE YET TO SEE YOU GIVE BACK TO THE BALLROOM COMMUNITY . REVLON only took you because they didn't have anybody in that field so its not like you earned that spot and your still talking about ppl. Benny Ninja has NEVER TALKED bad about you EVER AND JOSE XTRVA LIKE DUDE PPL SEE YOU BROWN NOSING . YOU NEED FORGIVENESS AND GOD IN YOUR LIFE . HOMEWORK 101 I Know ballroom history .

Benny ninja got in a terrible train accident and now he can not dance anymore . His Son Javier took over the HOUSE OF NINJA and soon it will be ITO NINJA . So there you have some info .
Only till the last 3 years has he made appearances and workshop doesnt qualify as the scene. From all my years in tje scene,noone even spoke of that persona,let alone as a voguer,lol
***** Um. . .did you notice that every move he made was a snapshot in time? And the way he played with the tempo of the music. It was brilliant. Many new voguers could learn a thing or two from him. Vogueing isn't just about gymnastics and I think that's the point he was making. Pose for your life!
Again, his voguing ♡♡♡♡♡
Love his face, dance, and the outfits.
New Way, Old Way, & arms/hands performance were the standard. You HAD to know the true elements of vogue to not get chopped! These children now-a-days just learn a few dips and spins and think that's vogueing!

That would be amazing! I feel that the scene has been "watered down" by the "new" kids trying to make vogue into something that it's not. No shade.

-BreikuNinja
Why not? He's been around forever and has made a great mark on the scene to say the least. He's better than most of the children trying to serve.
No you were right the first time :) He is Overall Father Of The Legendary House Of Ninja.

No shade he is not an icon not even close
what a seed.
That looks so sad...wouldnt have lasted two minutes with a skilled voguer...so sad. Guess they dont know the difference between fab and just average
***** Um. . .did you notice that every move he made was a snapshot in time? And the way he played with the tempo of the music. It was brilliant. Many new voguers could learn a thing or two from him. Vogueing isn't just about gymnastics and I think that's the point he was making. Pose for your life!
What’s. Sad is you clearly know nothing of Vogue.
