More Tease Please
INTERMEDIATE/OPEN
Thursdays
7:15 - 8:15PM
February 13 - March 20
Ready to take your burlesque to the next level? More Tease Please is the perfect course for those who want to dive deeper into the world of burlesque. Across six weeks we will explore the foundations of Burlesque vintage tease, and you will learn iconic moves to add to your Classic Burlesque repertoire. You will shimmy, bump and grind, chair dance and work with props and costume pieces such as feather boas, stockings, robes and gloves. We will also look at pastie reveals and tassel twirling later in the course. You will learn new Classic Burlesque choreography every week and explore different styles of tease.
At the end of six weeks you will be invited to The Burlesque Studio's end of term party, where all classes are invited to perform routines for each other and participate in a class photoshoot!
*The performance and photoshoot are optional, you can also just come along for fun!
What you will learn
Your Course
1
Introduction
Welcome to Classic Burlesque! Here you will meet the rest of the class. We will cover everything you need as a foundation for the term. Burlesque posture, showgirl walks and an introduction to what Classic Burlesque means.
2
Glove Peels and Reveals
Stepping into week two we will cover the art of the Burlesque glove peel. It's time to take it off! We will explore the many ways that a glove can be removed to set up an act, build character and add suspense to your routine.
3
Bump and Grind
Now that you've had an introduction, it's time to get our hips moving. The "Bump" and "Grind" are key dance moves that are deeply rooted in Burlesque history - a signature element in pretty much any classic routine!
4
Stocking Peels
It's week four and time for our stocking peels class. You will learn how to seductively remove stockings to leave the audience wanting more. Combined with some chair dancing, this week will be super sassy and fun!
5
Chair & Stockings
Week five brings us to conceal and reveal. We will practice the removal of things like robes, bras, skirts and other costume pieces. Through character work and engagement we will create the ultimate tease routine!
6
Pasties
Let's get those tassels twirling! This week we will learn the famous tassel twirl - the common climax of many burlesque routines. You'll learn different tricks and techniques to get those tassels working for you!
Class Information
WHAT TO BRING?
On week five you're invited to bring a pair of stockings to learn stocking peels. All other costume pieces and props required are provided. Don't forget your water bottle!
WHAT TO WEAR?
Something comfortable that makes you feel cute! Leggings, bike shorts with a fitted tank top or t-shirt are great choices. You might even consider a leotard or bodysuit.
WHICH SHOES?
Classes will be taught in heels but you are welcome to dance barefoot, in sneakers, socks or jazz flats. Whatever feels comfortable for you. For heels we recommend a ballroom dance or chorus style heel, but any heel with a strap that you feel comfortable moving in will work.
DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE?
We recommend doing our Classic Burlesque course before doing this course. However, if you have had some experience in other burlesque workshops or courses and are looking to further develop their classic techniques then this is the class for you!
WILL WE PERFORM?
Our studio does not currently present showcases. You may be invited to perform with the class at the end of term class party, but it is not a requirement to participate. This class does not include any Burlesque striptease reveals other than panel skirts, stockings and gloves.
