Did you ever see Tempest Storm plonk her bum on the floor? Absolutely not! In this open-level drop-in class, we’re diving into the elegant art of vintage floorwork—the kind that oozes glamour without sacrificing grace (or your knees).
Inspired by the queens of burlesque’s golden era, this class will teach you how to get down and dirty in an elegant, controlled manner. With a focus on smooth transitions, stylish shapes, and easily accessible poses, you'll learn how to make the floor your stage—no need for extreme flexibility or overt eroticism.
