General
floorwork
What does floorwork mean?
One of the five elements of vogue. Floorwork (or floor performance) is everything done on the ground — rolling, twisting, arching, splits, sensual posing, dramatic descents. It's where a performer proves they can be just as commanding lying down as standing up. The dip lives here, but so does slow, controlled, hypnotic body work.
"Her hands were sharp but it was the floorwork that won the battle — she lived on that ground."
Origin
One of the five elements of Vogue Fem (hands, catwalk, duckwalk, spins/dips, floor) from the Harlem ballroom scene.
