CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Basic Burlesque – Learn the basics of ballet to enhance your burlesque teasing. [ register ]

Beginning/Intermediate Burlesque – Once you’ve taken the short, 4 week Basic session, this is the class for you. Here you will build on what you learned in Basic Burlesque, adding choreography that incorporates props such as boas, gloves, bras, nighties, thigh high stockings, etc. Obviously, you won’t work with all of these props at one time, but a new one each week (based on a previously determined session schedule. There is no nudity in this class. All articles of clothing that are removed are worn on top of your dance wear.
[ register ]

Burlesque Fusion: Learn how to integrate other dance styles into your burlesque.  Influential styles include ballet, jazz, hip hop, belly dance, ballroom, flamenco,etc. We will also focus on body sculpting for burlesque.  This is the perfect class to compliment your burlesque training. [ register ]

Advanced Burlesque (Choreography) – This class is recommended for anyone that would like to continue the Tease beyond the Beg/Int Burlesque class, but not necessarily work toward a public performance. The techniques taught in this class will be more challenging. You will learn more difficult choreography, as well as how to choreograph on your own. [ register ]

Advanced Burlesque (Performance Class) – In this invitation only class, you will be guided and directed towards a final performance. You will develop your own striptease act, becoming responsible for concept, music selection, costume, and choreography. Michelle L’amour will be on hand to lend her Expert-TeaseTM and help polish the act. The students will also learn a group number that will be performed in the show. This is a great way to break out of your box and face your fears. After you’ve done a striptease in front of an audience, there is nothing to be afraid of! This is an invitation only class and there will be some skin exposed in this class. [ register ]

Salon Series – Def: A salon is a gathering of intellectual, social, political, and cultural elites under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation.  The series will operate in 4 week periods.  The Artist Series is a figure drawing class that will occur every other 4 weeks.  The first topic covered after the Artist Series is Burlesque History, a must for all burlesque enthusiasts.

Free Classes – Not sure about committing to a full 4 week basic burlesque session?  Come in and try a free 45 min class.  No pressure or obligations, just a little striptease sampler on a Saturday.
