Self Confidence and Body Positivity , because every person and every body is worthy of appreciation. - Learn about what makes you feel confident and tips to work with what doesn’t.
Creating a personal burlesque persona that celebrates your unique qualities - Learn about some of the many different styles of Burlesque. We then create your character. Pick a stage name, and come up with a routine idea! (Worksheets provided)
Basic Burlesque movements and stage presence - Now that we have our personas , let’s learn a few basic moves.
Props for beginners - Let’s talk about how props help shy performers create space and confidence. We will work on a few moves using props. Feather boas and gloves will be available to borrow. Please feel free to bring in your own!
General Q&A (time permitting)
