Sarada Sarita (1987), a member of a family of dancers, was one of the first to bring voguing to the Netherlands. This dance style originated in the Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ community in Harlem, New York, and imitated the poses of models who graced the covers of *Vogue*. Because voguing celebrates freedom of expression, marginalized people in New York found in it a safe haven for self-expression. New Way Vogue is a category within Vogue Performance, with Sarita as its Dutch figurehead. It’s no surprise that she previously received a Zilveren Krekel award for best stage performance in youth theater for her portrayal of a sorceress with black-magic allure in the ballet fairy tale GRIMM by ISH & the Junior Company. In 2019, she won the BNG Bank Dance Prize together with Christian Yav and Sedrig Verwoert.
