Entry requirements: none
Are you curious about Burlesque? In recent years, this dance style has taken the world by storm! The grand shows of Dita Von Teese are a prime example. Burlesque is derived from the word “Burla” (Joke), which is frequently used in Burlesque shows. It’s a delightful way of movement and expression, and a means to enhance self-awareness and self-confidence.
This course aims to introduce you to the basics of Burlesque, especially if you’ve never done it before. You’ll learn the showwalk, beautiful movements, and end with a short choreography in our theatre.
What you will learn
- Introduction to Burlesque, including showwalk and beautiful movements
