BEGINNER Flirting With Burlesque class is a six week series taught on ZOOM Thursday 7-8pm ET from APRIL 11-MAY 16. We recommend registering for the entire series, but students also have the option to purchase individual classes.

All Classes happen live via ZOOM, and recordings of the live classes are available for those who wish to take class via recording throughout the class and until AUGUST 1, 2024.

FLIRTING WITH BURLESQUE CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Learn sexy burlesque moves including bumps, grinds and shimmies! This class introduces the basic principles of burlesque movement in a fun, beginner-friendly environment. Our focus is on confidence, coordination, and feeling sexy in your body!

This class moves at a slow, encouraging pace. We do not assume that students have dance experience We work through basic burlesque movements, and practice stripping out of classic burlesque gloves in the second half of the class (Jez will provide links for purchase for those who want gloves, but it’s fine to simply mime the movement!). If you are interested in a class that focuses on full body striptease where you learn entire dance routines at a quicker pace, please take our intermediate class TEASE, PLEASE! or investigate Jez’s one-off class offerings in various techniques like fan dancing and slow burn.

This class has a focus on classic burlesque styles, which are often thought of as women's movement, but burlesque belongs to EVERY BODY. All genders are welcome if they intend to participate fully and with respect for each other. No observers.

Wear: whatever you like to wear to dance class. You can come in ballet gear, yoga gear, or corsets and fishnets. just be prepared to move. Bare feet, sneakers or heels are all acceptable.

Space: We know students take this class at home, so we expect students to be in small spaces. As long as you can take a few steps, your space will be fine.

PAY IT FORWARD/ “BOOST A BABE!” Program:
Students who are financially stable are invited to “Boost A Babe!”, which covers class costs for dancers who may not have access to them otherwise. This money offsets class discounts and free class costs, which Jez generally absorbs herself. If you would like your Boost to cover classes for one person in particular, please message me their name and email address (and yours, if you would like them to know where the Boost came from) and I will get the class info to them. Because of the administration involved in connecting people with resources, I’m only doing whole series Boosts at this time.

Students who are face financial challenges that make this class inaccessible at its full price can use code BOOST to access a discounted class rate. This code is offered on the honor code, so please use it only if you need it. If class is inaccessible to you at the discounted rate, please reach out to me directly using the contact form on this site and I will try to pair you with a Boost sponsor.

I can’t wait to dance with you!
