This inspirational 4-week (8-hour) course will teach you about characterisation, props, show-girl glamour, story-lines, gimmicks, and the power of both visual and physical theatre. You will learn a variety of traditional burlesque dance moves incorporating the all important “tease factor”. There are elements of striptease involved but no nudity. Throughout this course there is a strong emphasis on body confidence!
