In the early 90s, Kevin Stea was hired as associate choreographer to the famous choreographer Vincent Paterson for Madonna's legendary Blond Ambition Tour, where he also quickly became dance captain and dancer. Soon after, his career continued to take off: dancing for Gloria Estefan, Prince, and Michael Jackson, among others. Decades ago, Kevin was actually Dana's high school classmate. Join this conversation between old friends as they unpack their thoughts on growing up and growing older, being an introvert, protecting artistic passions from the rat race, using art as a tool for processing grief, and more.

Kevin is of biracial, mixed Chinese American descent who danced for Madonna's worldwide hit tour, "The Blond Ambition" in 1990.

We talked about the disconnect he felt in not being able to connect to his Chinese heritage, and his father, also of Chinese descent, who was largely absent during his childhood. We discussed about what it meant being queer during the volatile AIDS / HIV crisis during the 80s and early 90s which wreaked havoc on the LGBTQ commmunity. I got Kevin to talk about his experience working with some of the biggest icons as a dancer / choreographer, and being in a white-led entertainment industry that was not very welcoming to Asian Americans.

El éxito mundial que fue la canción ‘Vogue', de Madonna, hace ya 30 años, debe reconocerle mucho a Kevin Stea y Luis Xtravaganza, dos de los coreógrafos de la artista para ese momento. En este capítulo de #ElPodcast, nos cuentan personalmente cómo fue enterarse del fenómeno que habían causado y cómo era la estricta disciplina de la, desde entonces y hasta ahora, Reina del Pop.

Uno de los coreógrafos más reconocidos por las estrellas de la música habló en W Fin de Semana sobre su carrera y el trabajo con Madonna.

'Vogue' de Madonna está cumpliendo 30 años. La canción ha sido uno de los éxitos más importantes de la diva estadounidense; fue número 1 en 30 países y vendió más de 6 millones de copias, convirtiéndose así en la canción más popular de 1990. Pero la historia detrás de VOGUE nace en la comunidad transgénero de Nueva York. En este podcast hablo con Kevin Staye, un joven bailarín de Singapur criado en Estados Unidos, quien me presenta al talentoso activista Luis XTravaganza, el coreógrafo de Madonna en aquel momento. En esta charla, XTravaganza, uno de los más representativos miembros de la comunidad transgénero en Estados Unidos, rehace los pasos que lo llevaron del colegio al baile clásico y posteriormente al Vogueing, una subcultura de baile nacida en lo profundo de la clandestinidad trans y convertido, gracias a él y a un séquito de bailarines excepcionales, en un paso gigantesco hacia adelante en el camino por la igualdad.

A few random thoughts:   1) So AoS is now Prime-era Legends of Tomorrow? That's fine with me. 2) I have only rewatched a couple episodes of AoS. I understood several of the references to past events that they dropped, but it was a stretch for me to remember them. I felt like I fell victim to the odd schedule of the last few years. 3) For me, it missed the mark. It was close, but not where I'd have liked to have seen it. The plot was predictable in several places and just felt a bit thin for the season opener of the finale season. Did it make me want to watch more? Yes. But it also felt a little "because of plot" a few times. Two examples of this include Coulson basically having no real care at all about being an LMD / being in the game after about 2 seconds, and also Yo-Yo's forced-resistance to the arms for again, about 2 seconds. Additionally, the fact they weren't targeting Roosevelt was called by the fact that their theory of who was the target was determined in again, about 2 seconds. I was pretty sure the bait and switch was going to happen. But like I said, it just felt a little thin for me, I'm not hating on it. There were some great qualities too. For example, with that last part the reason behind the switch was really cool, and the result of who they then have to save (it's a great throwback to the franchise). I really enjoyed most Simmons scenes, and think this version of her character is probably my favorite, and I think they've got the dynamic of the crew back to the one we loved in the earlier days.   E-MAIL   SHIELD 702 feedback!!!   Oh8four   Another great episode!  Loved all of the internal and teammate conflict, classic change-time vs allow-terrible-events-to-happen tropes, and character study.  And I'm still curious if they're going with loops or not.  The stinger definitely suggests that the Koenigs were only interested in robotics because their Grandpa met our team and Enoch, or maybe this would have just made them get even more into robotics in a separate timeline.  Regardless, there are a LOT of ripples being made.  Enoch could just sit and wait to meet back up with the team whenever they travel to next, but being the bartender at a future SHIELD speakeasy sounds like he has the opportunity to change a whole lot.  And I'm wondering if Malick would still have shot Koenig if Deke hadn't just insisted he was a killer.  It was surprisingly fascinating to delve into a character only briefly referenced in one past episode.    I'm curious what they're doing with May.  Surely Izel isn't inside of her, right?  I can't imagine they want to keep that storyline going, but it's the only thing that makes any sense right now.  Hopefully it's something better than that.    Very excited to see when we're heading to next!  I don't watch the "next time on" so I'll be in the dark until next week.  Hope you guys are safe and healthy wherever you're at.   Until next time true believers.  Excelsior!   OUTRO [49:48]   Haley, Lauren, Michelle and Stargate Pioneer love to hear back from you about how you would rate the episode we just discussed, your top 5 Marvel character lists, your science of Marvel questions, who would you pick in an all-female Avenger team, or which Marvel male you would like to see shirtless.

This week, we speak with Kevin Stea (IG: @kevinstea), an acclaimed dancer/choreographer, actor, singer, director and model who rose to prominence as dance captain and back-up dancer for Madonna's Blond Ambition tour and documentary "Truth or Dare." We talk about his storied career working alongside some of the biggest names in popular music, as well as being featured in movies, television shows and commercials. We get into into it all: Madonna, Showgirls, Strike A Pose, Austin Powers, and his side project as vocalist 'That Rogue Romeo,' and so much more.  

Kevin Stea has been a professional dancer for an incredible 3 decades - a fact made even more incredible by the fact that he took his first dance class at 17. Just 18 months later he was hired as a dancer and associate choreographer on Madonna’s Blond Ambition Tour. We talk about Luis and Kevin’s mutual fascination when they first met, his admiration for Vince Patterson, working with artists like Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, recording music as his alter ego ‘That Rogue Romeo’, acting (including making cult-movie history with Showgirls), and reconnecting with his father and traveling with him to China to trace his roots. “City of Glass” by That Rogue Romeo aka Kevin Stea This episode of Werque was produced and edited by David NeuendorffTheme song “La Selva” by Eddie XFollow us on Instagram and Twitter @werquepodcastWe love hearing from you!

Dennis visits the Hollywood home of Kevin Stea to talk to Stea and Carlton Wilborn about the new documentary they appear in "Strike a Pose," which reunites the male dancers from Madonna's ground-breaking Blonde Ambition Tour from the early 90's. They talk about how the film came about, what it was like to be together again after 25 years, on-the-road romances and whether or not Madonna has seen the film. Carlton talks about being a part of the subsequent Girlie Show tour and keeping his HIV a secret while Kevin recalls the lawsuit he was involved in over compensation--or lack of compensation--for "Truth or Dare" and the sticky backstage prank that was played on him during the final show. Other topics include: their favorite moments in the concert, clubbing around the world, what they'd talk to Madonna about now if they happened to run into her and what dance means to them in their lives. www.madonnadancers.com

"I recently had dinner with my birth parents together for the first time.  Sitting between them i realized how little time I had left to really know my now 78-year old father Andrew, having grown up with my caucasian mother and barely a word spoken about him until i tracked him down at 18.  26 years later we’ve still never spoken of his childhood in China, escaping war into Korea or his missionary immigration to the US.  Only a few years ago did i discover his seven marriages and splintered relationships with his eight brothers and sisters.  12 years ago my father and I made a plan to go together and he cancelled. We never spoke of it again, but now he is the only one of the family who remembers our home in China.   Thirty years ago my grandfather returned to Antung and was accused of being a spy because he received money from the government, so though the world has marched forward, our distant family still lives in the same house there and in much the same way. I’ve never spent more than one night with Andrew, so it is a unique opportunity to actually document these first moments of sharing, of traveling, of healing, of becoming related.  From staying in our ancestral home, learning my father’s technique in stretching noodles by hand from scratch and walking the Great Wall to studying the language and history, we’ll be discovering each other anew and making up for a childhood apart, while Andrew confronts the death of his mother and his youth spent supporting his siblings and the realities of war. We cannot move forward powerfully without understanding our past, which begins with our family.  We are the architects of our future and the biggest most fulfilling journeys can begin with the simplest of questions that we never seem to ask those who we’ve known all our lives, such as ‘Who are you?”.
