A Scouse dancer has recalled how he helped bring the art of voguing to Liverpool.
Dean Murphy, originally from Kirkby, said it was “fantastic” to still be remembered as part of the group that first brought the highly-stylised, modern house dance to the city. Now, over 30 years later, the hairdresser is still actively involved within the voguing community despite no longer dancing himself.
The 52-year-old first discovered the dance in 1989. After living in London for over a year he decided to move back to the area and his friend, Paul Lovell, followed suit a few weeks later. Within the short space of time Paul remained in London, he learned about a new dance craze which would soon be performed by Madonna.
