Heels Technique for Stage Sunday May 3rd 11:30 - 1:00  

This class is a full body training session structured to actually help you feel stable in your heels — on stage, at a wedding, or just crossing a room?

In this beginner heels technique class, we’ll strengthen your legs, core, and hips so you can walk, pose, and dance in elevated shoes without the wobble. Expect practical drills, confidence-building struts, clean turns, and simple choreography you can use anywhere you want to be seen.

No experience needed. Just bring your heels and your attitude. Pros you are more than welcome because going back to basics is always key to feel your strongest in your stilettos!

 

Showgirl 101 SUNDAY MAY 3rd 1:30 - 3:00

This class is for performers who want to move beyond the basics and build work that is polished, strategic, and unforgettable. We focus on the mechanics behind a stellar performance — not just the steps. Heels 101 is a great pre-req for this class but is not required.

You’ll work on:

 

  • Elevated heels technique and stage command
     
  • The five non-negotiables of an unforgettable performance
     
  • Choosing and defining your burlesque character, musicality, and persona development
     
  • Strategic choreography and costume conception that support your story and strengths
     
  • Stage entrance, spatial awareness, and editing your presence
     
  • Improv drills to strengthen organic performance instincts
     
  • Business positioning to support your growth as a serious act
     

Expect focused training and practical act-building exercises you can immediately apply to your current or future number.
