Burlesque Class Q and A
Posted by jana | Filed under News
A common question we receive regarding the Velvet Kittens burlesque classes is what types of women attend our classes. Here is our general response:
We have a variety of women as students in the VK classes, at different ages, and all shapes and sizes. I aim to provide a fun, relaxed atmosphere for everyone participating in class. I also have a wide variety of interests from my students: for some this is a hobby, others a part of their exercise program, there are those who want to study the art of burlesque dancing, and I even have a singer who takes burlesque class to help work on movement for when she performs on stage.

Persephone, Queen of the Dead
a World Premiere by Mark-Brian Sonna
The play will be presented at the Stone Cottage Theatre, 15650 Addison Road, Addison, TX 75001, March 18 through April 10, 2010.
Tickets can be purchased online here, or by calling 214-477-4942.
A young woman, Persephone, is picking flowers one day. The earth opens up and she’s abducted by Hades, Lord of the Dead, and taken to the underworld to reign over the souls of the dead. As Persephone is toured through her new domain she arranges her own rescue, but Hades devises a counter plan to keep her for an eternity. Based on the classic Greek Myth, this play is a tour of the ancient view of what the underworld looked like. The play is intended for mature audiences due to violence, and partial nudity.
