6 week series that will build each week and end with a student showcase (Participation in showcase encouraged, but not mandatory). Perfect for those who have always wanted to try burlesque or newer burlesquers who would like to take it to the next level and get on stage! Classes will go through different elements of burlesque, such as character development, stage presence, strip tease, history, and more, leading into learning the group performance choreography. Students will also have the option to perform a solo in the showcase and can book a private lesson separately (at a discounted rate) if they would like act development guidance. It is encouraged to take the entire series, but drop ins are welcome. Please wear clothes that are comfy to dance and do a light warm up in, but feel free to dress sexy (in lingerie or whatever feels good to you!). Bring heels that you can dance in if you’d like. Throughout the series we will work with different garments such as robes, gloves, and boas. There will be a limited amount to borrow or you can bring your own. Costume guidance will be provided for class and the showcase. Please bring water.
