Burlesque Rocks

What is Burlesque Rocks & Who is it for?

Welcome to the friendliest burlesque classes on the internet! If you’re looking for a fun weekly drop-in dance class that doesn’t take itself seriously you are in the right place! This is an hour for you to enjoy yourself, move and have a groove.

Clan rocks consists of burlesque and rock lovers, each one began my classes knowing what burlesque was and they stayed because they love the music and my teaching antics. There is a mix of parents (babies sleeping in the corner during class has happened), retire’es and young professionals. What each have in common is they wanted to learn burlesque but struggled to find the time to get to a class or there were no burlesque classes near them.

The weekly drop in class consists of a follow along warm up for our bodies. This is followed by a walking and posing exercise to warm up our inner rock god. Then I teach a 2min burlesque style routine, I breakdown the routine into small bits and leave enough room in the choreography for you to adjust to your body and your burlesque style. Burlesque can be anything from sexy to comedic and powerful to kick ass! The aim is for you to find your style and have fun! The class ends with a bit of a stretch and a shimmy to camera!

Wear something comfortable and have a pair of heels handy.  I will let you know if we’re going to be playing with props!Heels are optional (but we recommend). Please ensure you have an even surface and space to strut and pose.  All my classes are LGBTQ+ friendly, everyone can strut and pose with Luscious!

Who will be teaching the class?

This is me! Emily I’ve been teaching burlesque since 2011 (under the name Little Lady Luscious), these online burlesque classes have been tailored to those who want to have a bit of fun from the comfort of their own home. You’re in safe hands, I can be a bit silly but I work with each student helping them to bring out their best selves. I have completed a foundation in Dance Movement Psychotherapy from Goldsmiths University.  And completed level four (with distinction no less!) dance teacher training with BBO Dance.  A lover of all dance forms but I particularly love the freedom of expression within burlesque and want to share that passion with you!

If you’d like to learn more about me take a look at the About page. I have also written a blog: What to Expect from a Burlesque Class with me. which gives you a bit of insight into me and my style of teaching.

What is burlesque?

For a detailed look at what burlesque is take a look at my blog – What Is Burlesque? Aside from rocking, burlesque is a fabulous and inclusive art form.  The routines I teach are based on bump and grind technique, shimmies and the occaisional bit of striptease. The tease is usually provided with a pair of gloves or a scarf. We embrace our bodies and show off our inner rock god!
