CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
"The Hot Seat" (workshop) - Sizzle in The Hot Seat!! Work up a sweat as you sizzle and burn in our July burlesque workshop "The Hot Seat!" from our Summertime Blues Workshop Series! "The Hot Seat" takes Burlesque Body Sculpting to a new level. Beginning with stretching and toning, we then move to sassy burlesque dancing, working with our dance prop of the month: the chair. Learn how to utilize your core to create sultry poses and flirty dance movements in one burlesque dance number taught throughout the session. Chairs will be provided. This is one full body workout you don't want to miss!
"Fedora Fever I" (workshop) – The Summertime Blues Burlesque Workshop, themed "Fedora Fever" from June, is all about class and style using the fashionable burlesque prop, the fedora hat. Set to the sultry and steamy blues song "Every Night," trainer Jana Edele, artistic director and choreographer of the Velvet Kittens of Le Cabaret Burlesque, begins with a 30-minute stretching and toning warm-up followed by signature burlesque dance choreography focused on slow hip and shoulder isolations and sultry burlesque movement. Fedoras are provided.
"Fedora Fever II" (workshop) - This is a continuation of "Fedora Fever," focusing on the dance number and getting it €˜performance ready.' There is also an optional performance opportunity available to students on Friday, July 16th (students may attend workshop and opt to not perform). This is a two-class workshop (July 7 and 14, 7:30 - 8:30 pm), $25.00.
Burlesque Basics (drop-in class) - The subtle glance of an eye, an isolated roll of a shoulder, a smooth and slow smile, this is the introduction to the theatrical art of the burlesque tease! An introduction of basic dance steps, focusing on simple exercises and combinations, and introduces the concept of performing.
Burlesque Basics is an introductory burlesque dance class, focusing basic dance terminology, proper execution of movement, isolations, posture, and performance. This is a great beginning foundation for those new to burlesque dance, or students simply looking for a beginning dance foundation, and anyone who just wants to indulge in a fun burlesque class.
~Summertime Blues Burlesque Workshop Series (including "Boas and Blues", "Fedora Fever I", "Fedora Fever II", and "Burlesque Basics") is created, designed, and choreographed by Jana Edele, artistic director and choreographer of the Velvet Kittens of Le Cabaret Burlesque.~
