In celebration of Pride Month, today’s Doodle celebrates Willi Ninja, an iconic dancer and choreographer known as the “Godfather of Voguing.” We go behind the scenes with current members of the House of Ninja: Archie Burnett Ninja, Javier Madrid Ninja, Kiki Ninja, and Akiko Tokuoka aka KiT Ninja to understand how Willi's legacy has impacted them, and see some ballroom moves. Illustration are by Rob Gilliam, and the Doodle video features footage by Xander Opiyo, with original music by Vivacious.
