10Trax: Jay Jay Revlon

With the cities’ underground queer culture blazing with increased interest of the vivid dance known as Voguing, the dance genre is making a strong comeback. DJ, Host and activist Jay Jay Revlon is showing no signs of stopping when it comes to making history as a figurehead of all-inclusive communities in the London Ballroom Scene. The London-born dancer is always on the prowl for the most unique and extravagant locations to hold his expressive voguing dance classes and to find dancers who share the same ethos as him. Using Vogue as a method to create diverse events and as a medium of social activism, which was shown through his performance paying tributes to the victims of the Orlando shooting last year. Becoming a major force in the London Dance and LGBTQ+ scene, Jay Jay has become an name elegantly credited to the rise of London’s voguing scene.

Starring in BBC Radio 4’s new show hosted by Clara Amfo “The Return of Voguing” airing on Tuesday 16th April at 11:30am Jay Jay doesn’t just flaunt his moves on the glittered dance-floor but also informs us about the deep importance of the culture of vogue for the LGBTQ+ community. Starring other household names, Jay Jay teaches Clara the joy of the pandemic dance move where they then attend the ultimate final, London’s Ballroom Scene.

So bring your heels, lay in the glitter, get your groove on and prepare to strut your stuff.
