This class is taught by two teachers who are former New York School of Burlesque Students, Darlinda Just Darlinda and Gal Friday.
Darlinda:
"My focus is on giving students a mini foundation of performance tools relating to burlesque. Here is what they will learn; eye contact, finding your light on stage, posture as a dancer, walking in high heels and strengthening your feet and core to support walking in high heels, character creation, floor work and body isolation's in preparation for tassel twirling, bumping and grinding. There is 20 minutes of burlesque related warm up, so bring something you can move in, preferably stretch pants/tights or something form fitting so you can see your posture, feet and curves! You will sweat a little bit! Having graduated with a focus in theater direction and 5 years as a burlesque performer/producer I have the tools to give students practical stage technique and confidence to further their burlesque education."
Gal Friday:
"My focus is on strengthening and toning your greatest "shimmy" tool: your butt! Also, special emphasis will be placed on strengthening your core and lower back. These low-impact focused routines, along with a Burlesque-related warm up, will help you feel strong and confident. You'll be bumping and grinding like a pro in no time!
In this class you will break a sweat, so it is best to wear workout clothing or dance gear and comfortable shoes. I will provide the towels for floor work."
This is not a series and you may take classes at any time in any order. However, class size is limited in order to ensure the quality of the class, so you must register in advance--NO DROP INS. Scroll down for more information.
