Want to live out the drama, glamour and style of Burlesque? Well Burlesque Intermediate does exactly that! This class will build on the Burlesque essentials of concept, character and choreography in a class that uses advanced peeling techniques, props (including chair and fan dance) and troupe work honed in the Improvers class. A fun-filled class that concentrates on individual and group performance techniques and works on developing acting, as well as dance and peeling skills. We advise that dancers for this class have had some previous experience in Burlesque, so they are able to focus on advancing their skills and performance quality.
Please wear comfortable clothing and block heels or shoes you are comfortable dancing in.
This class will be participating in our annual Christmas show!
