This is an intermediate burlesque class that introduces musical theater dance styles from the 1940s on, and focuses on cabaret dance and burlesque movement within-group routines. We explore deeper character development and ensemble techniques, the study of ballet, jazz, and percussive techniques to prepare students for performance in musical theater.

Level 3 Burlesque is ideal for students from Levels 1 and 2 who show dance proficiency, or those who have already completed beginner courses with The Atlanta School of Burlesque.

 

Please be mindful of your ability to make it to all six (6) weeks of the class - your presence is necessary for the group formations. 

 

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Evaluate movement skills in terms of space, time, and force, and reproduce accurately through their own body.
- Analyze a dance performance in terms of choreography, performance, and theatrical elements.
- Demonstrate clarity of intent while being mindful of body alignment.
- Students will expand their dance vocabulary, be comfortable with transitions, and embody the spirit of the piece in new ways.
