The Vixen Series
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and …
VIXEN
Welcome to the Velvet Kittens newest burlesque workshop evolution:
The Vixen Series
The Vixen Series focuses on conventional and contemporary burlesque dance moves in sophisticated choreography.
Powerful, playful and classy burlesque movement is incorporated into one complete dance number, and focused on for the inclusive workshop session.
These dances are designed for a tête-à -tête at home performance. The Vixen Workshops make a great gift, and holiday aphrodisiac.
For the premier of the Vixen Series we will be offering this burlesque workshop:
The Naughty and Nice Vixen
The Naughty and Nice Vixen takes burlesque to the next level. This Vixen burlesque workshop is all about flirty fun! The Naughty and Nice Vixen burlesque dance is choreographed in our Kitten-esque "Sugar Moonlight" fashion to a holiday classic sexy sensation. Incorporating classic burlesque choreography, burlesque basics movement, and a feathered boa, this dance is a little naughty, a little flirty, and a little…kittenish!
SCHEDULE
The Vixen Series will be available at different locations, days, and times beginning in December. We will be releasing the schedule and registration information shortly.

Yup, that's right!
We'll be continuing our Dallas classes at the Verandah Club at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, and our Fort Worth at Hyena's Comedy Club in downtown…and we're adding classes in both Denton and Addison, as well as returning to Irving!
Our classes and workshops will be available in these DFW cities: Addison, Dallas, Denton, Fort Worth, and Irving.
Speaking of workshops…
We've planned some very special holiday magic for you! New specialized workshops will be available to celebrate this festive time (and perhaps you can have your own "night of sweets").
But until then, get warmed up (and out of the on-coming chill) in our Tuesday night class in Fort Worth (7:00 – 8:00 pm), as well as our Dallas burlesque classes on Monday night (7:00 – 8:00 pm) and Saturday early afternoon (1:00 – 2:00pm).
