What does it take to express yourself? One of the year’s most anticipated documentaries, recounting the elating, iconic and moving story of Madonna's backing dancers from the Blonde Ambition Tour.

When seven young male dancers were plucked from the New York drag-ball scene to appear in Madonna’s Vogue music video, they never could have envisaged what life had in store for them. Embarking on the 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour, they would become global icons for the gay community, making vogueing a global phenomenon and forming a kind of surrogate family with the Queen of Pop, as seen in the movie In Bed With Madonna (1991). Revisiting their stories 25 years on, Strike a Pose is open, emotional retelling of the highs of fame and stardom, and the hardships of dealing with the fall once it’s all over.

The screening will be introduced by the delectable voguers House of Shabazz, followed by a Madonna-themed after party at VFD (formerly Vogue Fabrics)- click here for more information.
