Burlesque Act Development: The Choreography of Events

Sundays, August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, Sept 6 3.30-5.30 pm
440 Lafayette at Astor Place, NYC, Studio 4C

Are you eager to perform a solo number, but want hands-on help first? This series of five two-hour classes, plus an online session, will take you through music selection, costuming, choreography, and more! It concludes with the opportunity to perform your newly crafted number at a student showcase at the spectacular Slipper Room!

This entertaining and empowering series will teach you how to approach burlesque act development choreography with confidence, using an approach that will explain not only how, but why. You'll learn how to time your reveals and "big moments" for maximum impact, how to pace your act and move smoothly through transitions, and how to use your music to your advantage, whether it's Doris Day or Danzig.

You will also learn tips and tricks for creating your own "movement vocabulary"--a set of movements that look and feel great on YOU, no matter your dance experience or skill level.
