What's the difference between the Intro course and the Burlesque Beginner's Dance course?

This is the most asked question that we get! The Introduction to Burlesque course is more of theory based course which will go through the fundamentals of burlesque as a performance art, such as the art of tease, the history, how to do vintage hair and makeup, costuming  as well as some burlesque dance etc..
The Burlesque Beginner's Dance course is exactly that! Its a course which has 6 weeks of Burlesque dance in its diffferent forms - chair, floor, cane, glove and boa routines as well as group choreography. Which should you do first?? It doesnt matter!  Many girls do these course along side of each other as they compliment each other perfectly!
