What is burlesque?

Burlesque is traditionally thought of as cabaret although the recent coverage of artists such as Dita Von Teese has put the emphasis on striptease.

At the art of dance our burlesque goddesses Georgina Gale and Miss Amelia B teach a blend of modern and traditional burlesque. Our classes include striptease, chair dancing using props, developing musicality choreography, department, stage presence and developing your burlesque character.

The aim of our classes is to help you increase your self-confidence as well as developing good posture and mobility.

Our classes are fun and friendly and are a great chance to socialise with new people.

We provide a selection of props for you to work with but as your burlesque character develops you will be encouraged to get your own costumes and props and to develop your own stage routines. We will give you the opportunity to perform your routines at one of our burlesque nights should you wish to do so.

We recommend wearing comfy clothes for your first lesson and to bring a pair of heels with. After your first lesson you can start to bring in different items to work with and will end up doing classes in your full costume.
