Mainstream Attention
Many performers, particularly female performers, have used vogue-style dance as a part of their routines. Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai and Swedish singer Hanna Lindblad extensively feature voguing in their music videos for "Honey Trap" and "Manipulated", respectively. The transgender member of Vogue Evolution, Leiomy Maldonado, is responsible for creating and popularizing her signature voguing move, the Leiomy Lolly. The Leiomy Lolly is featured in Britney Spears' video for "If U Seek Amy", in Beyoncé and Lady Gaga's video for "Video Phone", and in a Dance Central routine to the song "Lapdance". Leiomy can be seen voguing in Willow Smith's video for "Whip My Hair". The masquerade ball scene in the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera also features voguing.
Several music videos quickly showcase the dip: Lil Mama and Chris Brown's video for "Shawty Get Loose", Chris Brown's video for "Kiss Kiss", Christina Milian's video for "Dip It Low", Beyoncé's video for "Get Me Bodied", and Kat DeLuna's video for "Drop It Low". In the tenth episode of Dance Moms, young dancer Nia Frazier successfully completes a dip in a group routine after receiving training from Shangela.

Famous quotes containing the words mainstream and/or attention:
“At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
—Ellen Goodman (20th century)
“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate. It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
