Dive into burlesque history with Maple Rose in this all levels burlesque course focusing on the origins of the art of tease! We will explore the transition of burlesque from parody on the vaudeville circuit to striptease in the cabaret clubs in this multi-discipline dance based course.
Each week we will be inspired by the 'greats' who changed the art of burlesque from the 1920s - 1960s, including composers, burlesque stars and comedians!
In this NEW TECH course you will learn: - The core burlesque dance styles of the era - Sassy and classic striptease - Characterisation and comedic timing to create that loveable burlesque character - Floor work that will get you down and dirty in a fun, flirty way
