Description
It's just walking, how hard can it be? For some entertainers getting from one point of a stage to the other can be a daunting task - even for the experienced professional!
In this class, participants will learn several standard traveling dance movements that have been specifically stylized for burlesque performance. Lily Star will teach how to apply proper body placement and weight transfer while giving you the tools to be more confident moving across a stage. This workshop will demonstrate how to use basic steps to create exciting transitions, take the energy to the audience, change the focus, as well as add character and musicality to multiple types of burlesque acts.
This class is offered to all. The School of Striptease teaches using the motto, "all bodies are burlesque bodies."
Please wear clothing that does not restrict your movement. Heels are optional.
