The flashiest of the five elements of vogue femme. You spin a full 360 on one or both feet, then drop into a dip, landing on your back with a leg in the air, hitting the floor on the beat. The crowd lives for it. Outsiders call the drop a death drop or a shablam, but in ballroom the element is spins and dips and the move itself is the dip.

“The accent dropped and she went straight into spins and dips, hit the floor clean, and the room lost it.”
