This fun and furious lower-body fitness oriented class incorporates burlesque moves, shimmy, and exotic dance with jazz dance and pilates training.
It's wicked fun!
Beginning with a warmup featuring sensuous isolations, you'll work up to fast and funky moves that work your abs and butt in ways you never thought possible.
Please note that this class is not for the shy or delicate! You will be moving hard and getting on your hands and knees.

Peekaboo Pointe by Ed Barnas
Peekaboo Pointe puts the ass in classic!
Peekaboo is the primary instructor and choreographer of the class.
If you've taken her lap dance class, you know she's got the shimmy going on! She is certified to teach Pilates, has a degree in choreography, and has mad pole dance skills, but burlesque is her first love. Her performances are characterized by high femininity, high humor, and high kicks!

Always ready to shake and quake, Gal will step in to teach when Peekaboo is shimmying elsewhere. She has learned burlesque movement, tassel-twirling, and shimmy movement from some of the best-known instructors in the world, and has been teaching her own brand of butt-busting moves at NYSB for four years. One of New York's most popular art models and a former Miss Coney Island, Gal can be found performing her mischeivous and glamourous numbers throughout the city, and beyond.
