Class Description

Burlesque is the hottest trend in town, bringing together a sizzling dance style with elaborate vintage costumes, cool retro tunes and a lot of sassy fun! Drop in to this class any week, to learn how to be a total glamour queen, how to walk (even in sky-high heels!) and how to exude confidence and sex appeal! And of course, you'll learn all the fundamentals of burlesque dance! You'll shimmy, shake, undulate, bump, grind, wiggle, jiggle, twirl and swirl your way through the classic burlesque moves.  Not only will you walk away with a few new moves for the boudoir, but this is also a great workout! So come down and learn to shape up, the way showgirls do it!
