Course Description

 It's time for glitz, glamour and a lot of razzle dazzle! Showgirl dancing is the ultimate girly fantasy, with all the old-world glamour of the 1940s and 1950s! If you've ever wanted to be a Rockette, a Vegas showgirl or steal the spotlight on Broadway, then this is the course for you! Every class includes stretching and strength exercises to work towards those showgirl high kicks and splits, plus you'll explore six different styles of showgirl dance - from Cabaret Broadway to Vintage Chorusline, Showgirl Chair Dance and Floorwork, Modern Chorusline and even Parisian Can Can!

Over the six weeks the group will also learn a fun and glamorous showgirl routine, with the opportunity to perform it at a Sugar Blue Burlesque live show. Just add feathers and a whole lot of glitter, and you're ready for the spotlight!
