Learn How to Death Drop - Inside Drag

Drag may not be a contact sport, but these queens are not afraid to put their bodies on the line.

If you've ever been to a drag show, you know gender-bending is just one aspect of the performance. Elaborate lip-syncing plays a pivotal role during a queen's set on stage, and throughout these performances, one particular dance move has been known to slay the stage.

It's called a "death drop," and it's no small feat.

We wanted to better understand this show-stopping maneuver, so we went to RuPaul's DragCon in NYC to ask some of our favorite queens if they could teach us how to master it. Behold: the infamous death drop.

Bob showing her the technique and actually lying on the floor with her shows how genuinely nice Bob is.

I love how bob literally got on the floor to show her how to do it hands down my favorite forever!

Trixie staying unbothered while she falls roughly into the floor is a mood

The realization that this is less painful for someone wearing pads is an earth shattering moment for my brain.
