Dance Classes

This 8-week course is designed for people who are curious about burlesque performance, regardless of dance experience. Each class will cover a different aspect of burlesque, focusing on learning the skills and then applying them in choreography or structured improvisation. Topics covered include: standing, walking, turning, the art of the tease, stage presence, bump and grind, shimmying, floor work, glove and stocking peels, boas, chair dance, and act creation.

This 4-week course is an introduction to burlesque as a whole. Each week, we’ll try a new skill together and explore it further by learning a combo focused on what we’ve learned. Every iteration of this course will cover different materials, but you can expect to learn moves and explore the usage of various props while developing confidence.

There’s something empowering about learning the seductive art of Chair Dance! In this 4 week series, you will work the chair as a prop through a series of movement and techniques to form a choreography dance designed to move your body like the goddess you are. We will then piece the choreo together to create a combo that you can take home, and share with your partner.

​

This chair series will build your confidence to work towards performing on a main stage.

This advanced course is designed for those who have taken Burlesque Performance (Level 1) or who have experience as a burlesque performer. Over 8 weeks, the classes will go in-depth and will focus on more complex skills as well as performance practice. Topics covered include musicality, storytelling, persona, transitions, costuming and makeup, tassel twirling, fans, choreography, act cleanup, movement precision, and blending other skills with burlesque performance.

Sometimes it’s fun to just learn and perfect a routine. Over the course of 4 weeks, we’ll put together a fully choreographed routine including a few skills and props/costume pieces. Numbers will range in style from classic burlesque to neo-burlesque with music and movement to match.

There is something about floor movement that just gets my body going, and excited. In this 4 week series, you will learn the art of Floor combos, flexi stretch movements, and creating a floor choreo.  We will be working on shoulder work, kips, hair tossing, and seduction.

This floor series will build confidence in a new way of dancing, and working your way to performing.
