The “Spellbound”

Burlesque Workshop

 

Work your magic and spellbound your audience with this Velvet Kitten exclusively choreographed dance number!  Each class begins with our originally designed Burlesque Body Sculpt foundation, sculpting your body to a dancer’s physique using traditional dancer exercises, then moves into this month’s themed burlesque style dance number.  The “Spellbound” Burlesque Dance is taught in four one-hour class sessions.  We also provide choreography notes for at home preparation.  Students from our “Spellbound” Burlesque Workshop will receive an invitation to enroll in a Performance Preparation Workshop, and offered an opportunity to perform in a student showcase in October.  Early registration rate:  $45 (must register by September 7th).  Regular Registration: $60.00. (There is an additional charge to participate in Performance Prep Workshop).

We are offering two different sessions for the “Spellbound” Burlesque Workshop.  Students can sign up for a weeknight or weekend workshop session!

“Spellbound” Burlesque Workshop I – Mondays, 6:30 – 7:30 pm (Sept. 13, 20, 27, & Oct. 4)

“Spellbound” Burlesque Workshop II – Saturdays, 12:00 – 1:00 pm (Sept. 18, 25, 2,  & Oct. 9)

**All workshops must attain a certain number of pre-registered students prior to the beginning of the session, or session may be cancelled.

Burlesque Basics –

September Schedule

 Burlesque Basics is an introductory burlesque dance class that focuses on the basic foundation of the burlesque style of movement.  This drop-in class is perfect for students curious about burlesque, and desiring to try-out a class before registering for one of our workshops. 

This is also a great class for students who want to learn the burlesque style of dance outside of a workshop, students looking for a beginning dance foundation, and anyone who just wants to indulge in a fun burlesque dance class.

Mondays, 8:30 – 9:15 (Available September 13, 17, and 27)

Drop-in class: $20.00 per class.

“Insatiable”

Performance Prep Workshop –

 September Schedule

 

The “Insatiable” Performance Preparation Workshop takes the student to the next level.  The Performance Workshop focuses on the previously learned choreographed number taking the student into a “rehearsal” period, and continues instruction on technique, posture, execution, and memory – and prepares the performer to take the stage.  There is also a performance opportunity for the students at the end of this workshop.  It is not mandatory to perform, only an offered opportunity.

Students are required to learn the choreography prior to the performance workshops by attending the workshop or scheduling private lessons prior to Performance Prep Workshop.
