Class descriptions:

Ballet for Burlesque Dancers: This introductory class will focus on the development of grace and elegance through basic ballet techniques. Non- Burlesque Dancers are also welcome. Please have a pair of socks or ballet slippers and come dressed to move.

Booty Conditioning: A fun low impact exercise based class which combines stretch and tone exercises, yoga moves and dance with cheeky routines! Suitable for all body types and levels of fitness.

Burlesque Level 1: An introduction to the art of the "tease" including glove and stocking peels, parasols and fans, pastie making workshop, boa techniques, tassel twirling and the art of the striptease.

New Level 2 Burlesque:
This level 2 class is designed for newer Rosebuds, those who have recently completed the Level 1 Introduction course or who have not yet gotten around to taking level 2 or who have taken a long break from dancing and want to get back into it!
We will be focusing on skill development including a review of the basics covered in level 1, floor work, character development, improvisation skills and more!
This class will be less focused on choreography building this term in order to accommodate the new generation of emerging dancers! I hope to see you in class!

Advanced Burlesque and performance prep:
This is similar to a level 2 class in that we will work on character development and choreography skill building. Students should have previously taken the level 1 class and be aiming to perform in the upcoming Spring Concert.
The theme is Literally Burlesque
Pieces should be inspired by famous works of literature.

In this class the Headmistress will be working on a short group piece based on A Mid-Summer Night's Dream. She will also be working with each individual to help them to compose and polish their own works for the concert. This class is highly recommended to all who are planning to show work in the concert.

The concert will be held on Sat May 17th and is a two part event. There will be a full show at the Refinery Theatre followed by an artist's salon at the Free Flow Dance Centre. The Salon will feature a live band and a variety of performances including spoken word and burlesque.

Cost $105 incl GST - 6 week session
Begins Tues March 25th 7:30pm
Please note* there will be no class on April 8th or 29th.

Burlesque Level 2: A continuation of level 1, this class focuses on character development and choreographic techniques. For the more advanced student who is looking towards creating new works and furthering technical practices.

Burlesque Group Routines: This class is designed for those who have completed level 1 or 2 and who are interested in hitting the stage! Learn fun and sassy group routines which will be featured live on stage at our spring and fall concerts! Yes you too can be a star!

Adult Hula-Hooping: Learn how to manipulate a hoop on and off of the body while moving in rhythm to music. Hooping allows for self expression and has a huge base of tricks that will amaze you! Fun, encouraging and uplifting fitness! Instructor Karla Dalnoki.

Open Studio: An open studio time for performers to come practice and refine their acts. This is shared space with others who drop in so bring your ipod. You may rotate using the large stereo as well.
