The course will be taught by me Little Lady Luscious aka Emily. I started teaching burlesque in 2011 in London, UK. I love teaching this fabulous artform and have found teaching online has meant those who can’t attend a class in person can now learn in the comfort of their own home!

What you will learn on the course…
Week One – Walking and Posing
The very foundation of burlesque. If you are new to dance and walking in heels this is the best workshop to start with. We’ll run through the basic walks and poses you’ll find in burlesque. Concentrating on my 4 favourite styles:
- Pin-up,
- Sensual,
- Comedic
- & Powerful.
We’ll end with a fun exercise which will leave you ready to strut down the street in style!
Week Two – Bumps and Grinds
The most classic and dramatic burlesque styles. You’ll find bumps and grinds in almost every burlesque routine. Learn how to make the most of your bumps and get right into those grinds. We’ll end this class with a classic burlesque routine for you to take away with you and finesse!
Week Three – Boas & Peeling
The very core of modern burlesque the strip tease, taking your time and tantalising your audience into a frenzy is the burlesque performers goal. This workshop will introduce you to the art of tease using gloves and the iconic boa. Gypsy Rose Lee drove her audience wild with a simple glove peel.
Week Four – Stockings
We’ll take your peeling to the next level. Stockings and burlesque go hand in hand. By then end of this class you’ll be slipping off your stockings in style!
Week Five – Shimmy & Shake
The simple shimmy is the base of the classic tassel twirl. We’ll have a giggle shaking our ass and shimmying our shoulders for an hour of fun. Depending on comfort level of the group we’ll give a little bit of tasselling a go.
Week Six – Lets put it all together!
In our final week together we’ll work on a routine with all our new skills thrown in! Heels, Stockings, Gloves, Boa and maybe a little tassel twirl.
