Viktor On Waacking, Ballroom, & Being A Red Bull Dance Your Style Wildcard

Viktor's Notes:"LSS is not just a warm-up — it’s actually how the ball begins. It’s a call for you to be celebrated.""Talking about the beginning of the scene, we were teaching classes at a time when vogue was hot and becoming visible in the media. Everybody wanted to learn, so we had students, and we wanted to throw a ball to give them the chance to experience that.""I personally vogue to feel free and seen — and not just that. In the major scene, I know my category well. I have it down. I don’t play; I’m coming with a Grand Prize kind of mindset. On a kiki level, I don’t need to chase that same thing in a new way, because I already have it. But I still walk a category to vogue, to express myself, and to feel it.""When we talk about realness, it’s not just about the “mirror.” Certain realness categories can also be a celebration of being real, if that makes sense."
