11am-12pm: Body Positivity and Burlesque Basics
offered by Arielle Juliete
A wise lady once said, "stripping is something we do for someone else, burlesque is something we do for ourselves." Nail down some basic burlesque bumps, grinds and shimmies while learning how to embrace your body as it is right now.
12pm-2pm: Brunch
Unfortunately we didn't receive enough registrations to hold the brunch portion of the event, but you can still bring food and drink and chill with us at the studio during this time!
2pm-3pm: Storytelling in Burlesque
offered by Arielle
What are you trying to say while you dance? Does your movement match the music? Are you telling a story of seduction, of comedy, of being a bad bitch in control? Learn how to nuance the moves you already know to create a rich tapestry of evocative entertainment.
3-4:30pm: Choreography
offered by Greta Thorn
Build on the lessons given earlier in the day and learn two routines with Greta Thorn of the Peach Pies and Les Cougars. Bring out your confidence with a classic burlesque number, and then learn a character-driven number employing double entendres to tell a story through burlesque. Attendance at previous workshops not required, but helpful if you are new to learning burlesque. Please bring heels!
