Definitions

Before anyone said 'voguing', the category was Pop, Dip and Spin — a literal description of what you did. Pop your arms to the beat, fall into dips to punctuate the line, use spins to carry you between standing and floor work. This is the acrobatic spine of what's now called Old Way: clean, geometric, moving seamlessly up and down. 'Spin' on its own is the same heritage — the spinning, dipping foundation the whole dance grew out of.

“Old Way is just pop, dip and spin with discipline — no flailing, all lines.”
