After she became "Candy Baby" she once donned a flesh-colored g-string and breast-brushing wig and rode a horse - as Lady Godiva, of course - through downtown streets. She was arrested, but there wasn't an empty seat in the house for the next show!
In this class Candy will share her experience in burlesque along with tips on how to “work it” for the audience. She will discuss the idea of “ You gotta get a gimmick” and presenting yourself on stage. She will show you the fabulous “burlesque walk” and help you develop your own strut. You will also learn how to do the elegant bump and grind . In her own words “this class will give you the tools to cook up your own special recipe of being an exotic lady, and get the audience to love you”.
