Veronica's class is highly interactive, starting in a circle discussion to get everyone confident and comfortable. There is absolutely NO dance experience required - Veronica's burlesque acts are known for their slow, defined sensuality. Students will learn simple seductive moves that they can take home to create their own routines and unique burlesque persona.

As Veronica displayed as a coach and teacher on MTV - what she is best at is helping to discover and bring out what is best about YOU! You will leave this course with a new understanding of seduction and tools you can use immediately. Veronica will focus on many different ways to bring out your inner beauty and how to create a "signature" look to make you absolutely unforgettable!

Learn what your burlesque archetype is, learn what styles and era works best for you, and learn how to keep all eyes on YOU.

The class will also include a dance segment to pepper your burlesque moves with magic and allure! Learn the techniques of the tease and implements of seduction.

The class is part-mental, part-physical; the goal is to learn how to weave magic into your performance. There will be handout questions to go deeper into bringing out your femme fatale. It's part movement, part workbook, lecture, qna, and circle talking.
