PAST CLASS

Bettina May is back with two sizzling workshops!

Strike A Pose!
3-425 pm
Tired of not getting good live photos of your acts at shows? Want to look confident onstage and embrace the power of stillness? Learn the magic of classic pin-up posing with international pin-up expert Bettina May, and you'll be the star of promo photos, stage, and life! All genders and bodies will benefit. Students will learn the art of pinup modeling and how to apply those skills in promo photos and onstage. During the class, students will have an opportunity to speak with Bettina May about her experience as both a published pin-up model and photographer in a Q & A setting, and then get hands-on experience trying out her poses, playing with different characters, and get individual assistance and correction with posing.

Bombshell Hair
435-6 pm
For pinup modelling or a glam night out! Discover how to curl any type of hair, create long-lasting Victory rolls, glamorous waves, sturdy up-dos, and how to create hairstyles to withstand hot studio and stage lights or vigorous dancing! Also learn how to incorporate accessories for quick vintage looks and how to troubleshoot mishaps. Bring your accessories, hair flowers, vintage hats, and all of your hair questions. This is primarily a demo class with question and answer.
