Burlesque Classes



Intro to Burlesque Basics : Mar 24 2024 - Apr 28 2024

Join Doctor Vu for Burlesque Basics, a beginner class that familiarizes you with burlesque movements and language.

This class is designed for those eager to explore the enchanting world of burlesque while building confidence and embracing their authentic selves.


Throughout our sessions, we'll immerse ourselves in the art of the tease through technique-inspired movements, breaking down the fundamentals of burlesque. From playful bumps to tantalizing shimmies and alluring grinds, you'll learn these movements in a fun and supportive atmosphere, embracing empowerment and cultivating self-expression.


But it's not just about the steps; it's about intention and mindful movement. In each class, we’ll delve into the building blocks of burlesque performance and use burlesque as a tool for personal empowerment while mastering the tantalizing allure of the tease and challenging established
perceptions.


Our choreographed routine serves as a canvas for your self-expression as an artist or burlesque aficionado where you'll discover the transformative power of movement and claim your narrative in a welcoming and encouraging environment showcasing your growing burlesque skills.


This class isn't solely about performance; it's about personal enjoyment and self-discovery. Doctor Vu strives to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to explore their unique style, embracing the magic of burlesque and the art of the tease!

Class is for anyone age 18+. Burlesque is for all bodies and gender identities. Dress in comfortable clothes you can move in with bare feet, socks, or shoes you would like to work in if standing. Please bring a pair of long satin or opera-style gloves if you have a pair for our strip-tease element. If you don’t have a pair, no problem!

The class is at Lines Vermont. 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM Studio B
