Dance up a storm with classic moves of burlesque in this month’s featured burlesque series: The Insatiable Burlesque Workshop. This 4-class workshop combines characteristic American cabaret and burlesque choreography with the Burlesque Body Sculpt foundation. Classy, chic, and coy describe this playful choreography, incorporating the cabaret style of bowler hats and dance canes. Set to the song “Insatiable†written and recorded by the Verandah Club’s own Cara Young, the Insatiable Burlesque Workshop will sculpt your body while bringing out the inner Cabaret-Burlesque Kitten in you.
***This workshop will be followed with an optional Performance Preparation workshop in September for class attendees to perfect their techniques, with a chance to perform live at a venue in late September.***
