We were very saddened at the closure of Rembrandt's Dutch Pub, home to our monthly vaudevillian-burlesque extravaganzas. We'll still be out and about performing in DFW. Next weekend we will be in Fort Worth at Ridglea Theater.
Waiting on our return to Dallas?
We will be presenting our annual charity holiday show, Candyland: A Night of Sweets in Dallas (more info to come). We'll keep you updated on additional performances in DFW.
In the meantime, you can come and dance with us. Burlesque classes
begin this weekend in Dallas, and on Tuesday in Fort Worth.
Want to add a Velvet Kitten performance to your upcoming event? You can book your very own Velvet Kitten show, from soloists to a full-length burlesque show, for birthdays, private parties, and special events. You can also bring a Velvet Kitten class or workshop to your own party or special event. For more information, contact us.
Still not satisfied?
We'll let you in on a little secret:
The Velvet Kitten Follies
(coming in 2010)
Stay tuned, DFW.
xoxo
Have boas….will travel!

Dallas Burlesque Classes - Balletlesque!
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
Experience the elegance of ballet combined with the Velvet Kitten burlesque jazz stylings in this specially designed Velvet Kitten signature burlesque dance class!
Balletlesque is a VK recipe incorporating the world's oldest beauty exercise and foundation of all dances, and spices it up with the sassiness of burlesque jazz dance in an integrated class course. Balletlesque focuses on gaining flexibility, strength, muscle control, poise and grace, whilst enhancing the fluidity of movements and maintaining posture while dancing.
This class is excellent for anyone who has ever wanted to take ballet (but was afraid to try). This is a beginner level class.
Velvet Kitten dancer and instructor Stevie Swan will have you gliding with the grace of a swan, and dipping with the lightness of champagne bubbles!
Balletlesque is available Saturdays in October on the 10, 17, and 24 from 3:30 - 4:30 pm at our Dallas location: 3401 W. Airport Frwy, Ste 210, Irving TX 75062 (183 and Belt Line).
RSVP today!
Balletlesque begins with an infused ballet and burlesque barre session, followed by across the floor exercises, and concluding with a Balletlesque combination.
Burlesque Class Q & A
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
What do I wear to burlesque class?
It is recommended students wear comfortable clothing easy to move in. This includes gym shorts, leggings, leotards, tights, form-fitting tee shirts; anything appropriate for gym wear or dance class. It is also recommended to "layer" clothing during cooler weather (ballet sweaters, leg warmers, warm-ups, etc).
Jewelry, other than stud earrings, is strongly discouraged for safety reasons.
What about shoes?
For all classes/workshops held in a dance studio, it is recommended to participate in one of the following: jazz shoes, dance sneakers, ballet slippers, socks (in warm up only) or barefoot.
Athletic shoes are also welcome, but must be solely used for the dance class/workshop. Outside shoes are not permitted on the marley dance floors.
What about high heels?
The introduction of heels into the dance sessions will be discussed on a class-by-class basis. Heels are only permitted in specific classes and workshops.
Heels are appropriate for Fort Worth's Tuesday night Burlesque Class at the Vault in downtown Fort Worth.
