Course Description

If you have already taken our “Introduction to Burlesque” course and become a bona fide burlesque addict (like us!) we’d love to give you the opportunity to pursue your newfound passion and take it to the next level! The Advanced Burlesque Course runs for six weeks, with longer class sessions than the Introductory course (one and a half hours each class) and covers more advanced elements of burlesque dance, prop-work, costuming, performance and stagecraft. Over the six weeks you'll try your hand at chair dancing, feather fan dancing, advanced striptease, audience interaction, duo/group performances, and costume making. You'll learn a group dance choreography with all the girls, plus there's even a class in pastie making and tassel twirling! 

The group size is limited to just 15 participants, for a supportive and personalised environment. You'll receive a burlesque showbag at the beginning of the course, with lesson materials, a burlesque music CD, all in a Sugar Blue Burlesque tote bag with other fun burlesque surprises. The course will also introduce you to the business of burlesque, what to expect and what it takes to perform in the real showbiz world! You will take the burlesque persona you created in the Introduction to Burlesque course, refine and polish that character, find your true specialities and develop your character into a unique, entertaining and marketable burlesque act! The culmination of this course will be performing at a Sugar Blue Burlesque show! 

Restrictions

12 participants maximum
This course is for graduates of the Introduction to Burlesque course.
This course is for women only, and you must be 18 years or older.

This course involves progressive material from week to week, including a group dance choreography, so you must be able to attend all six sessions.

This course has a performance focus, so it is important that you have already performed in the Graduate Show for your Introduction to Burlesque course, and that you are able and willing to be involved in a show at the end of this course. The dates and times of this show will be decided upon with the group during the course. Just like the professional burlesque world, you must be willing to put some time and money into creating your own costume for this show.

Price

$220 for the course.

This cost covers your course fees, plus materials used in class (including pastie and fascinator making supplies), plus you'll receive a Sugar Blue Burlesque showbag at the beginning of the course!
