*************************

Whether you're fanning the sultry fire of a red-hot showgirl dying to emerge from within, interested in exploring sexiness & sexuality in performance and life (onstage or off!), or reveling in and celebrating the beauty of your form in all its lovely iterations, this class is a perfect way to begin! A thoughtful yet engaging metamorphosis into your next exciting life adventure, this experience is perfect for EVERYONE! Perhaps you dream of dancing under the hot lights of the big stage, covered in glittering rhinestones! Maybe it's the thought of delighting your lover with a few new mysteriously gained skills, or strengthening healthy, no BS, confidence in your body, abilities, and intelligence by learning new, fun, and sexy skills!

We will be working on various styles of Burlesque and Cabaret dance choreographies and movements, ranging from classic to modern; from sexy to sensual; to fun and upbeat! Various props may be incorporated such as hats, stockings, gloves, and fans. If there is something, in particular, you are interested in learning, please let us know! All interested students who desire to perform (optional!) the various pieces learned in class will have a chance to do so!

Our space is a safe haven to celebrate and promote self-love and empowerment, and confidence in expressing the inner sensuality and femininity that is within each and every one of us. There is no nudity involved in our classes. Although some elements of striptease may be involved, participation is completely voluntary, and students are encouraged to work within their comfort zone.

********************

We are so excited to announce that we will be continuing our student performance troupe, Cherry Buds! No experience is necessary to join, but it helps if you've come to class before, or have some type of understanding of movement.

Rehearsals are after burlesque class, for ensemble choreography and repertoire.

Help with the creation of solo acts will also be included, this can be done in person or via Zoom.

Please inquire for fees. Membership in the Cherry Buds ensemble does not guarantee stage time, nor does it require anyone to perform. For ensemble pieces, those who are able to perform and execute the choreography will be invited to perform. For solo acts, performance opportunities will be available when the individual is ready. Or help with pre-existing acts can be arranged as well.
