This song is sung by a trans woman (Shea Diamond) and is featured in a TV show on HBO called We’re Here which showcases celebrity drag queens Shangela, Bob the Drag Queen, and Eureka. If you like, look for opportunities to include voguing and drag queen stylings in your dancing.
One such opportunity for a fierce variation occurs at the end of the song. You’ll be facing the front wall, and Shea Diamond does an acapella bit for sixteen counts. You can do the first sixteen counts of the dance again, or you can vogue for sixteen counts!
