I just had a baby 8 weeks ago by emergency C-Section, and I am limited to what I am able to do physically for at least 12 weeks.  I attended the Burlesque Body Sculpt class at the Veranda Club in Dallas and absolutely loved it!  I was very leery of starting to exercise again for many reasons.  The typical “baby-weight” gain is the one downside to the joy of having a child.  I was definitely not feeling all that great about my physique, but I threw on some tights (BLACK or course!) and mustered up some courage and took the class.  I was sweating within the first 3 minutes, and best of all I was able to go at my own pace and modify several moves that were still a bit uncomfortable from my surgery.  The dance instructor, Jana Edele, is highly approachable, very friendly, knowledgeable and FUN!  To sum it up, for a good hour I forgot that I needed to lose my baby-weight and had a complete blast….all while getting a great workout!  I’ll be back!

Jana's burlesque classes have a little something for everyone; gym enthusiasts get cardio and core work, experienced dancers get new technique, and everyone gets a well-paced, well-rounded workout.  As a bonus, Jana's sense of humor puts shy students at ease.

I am one of VK's biggest fans, now I'm learning from them.  They are not only great dancers, but also great instructors.  The style of their teaching gives me benefits like:  flexibility, coordination, and stamina.  As a belly dancer, I really appreciate what they have to offer.

Even with no previous dance training, the fun flirty moves were a blast.  The class flew by so quickly, after one I was hooked!

I’m a personal trainer and I work out a lot, but have been craving some variety in my routine. Burlesque Basics is a fun way to get in an extra workout with a creative twist. I definitely felt like my core and legs got a good workout and the stretching is great too! I was nervous about being able to do the moves, but Jana moves at a pace that makes you comfortable.

Learning dance was so entertaining; I didn't even realize I'd just worked out for an hour.  Dance was always something I wanted to try, but never got to. Can't wait for the next lesson!

I am a mom of 4, grandmother of 4, dance instructor, owner of House of Funk Theatre and own a promotional products business.  I have never taken a Burlesque class and must say, this was so much fun and wow, what a most excellent workout.  Jana, I hurt in areas of my core that have not ached in many years.  This was a great class and I recommend it for those looking for it professionally or just as a workout program.  Thank you Jana for a great time and introduction to your world.
