BURLESQUE WORKSHOP

Introduction to Burlesque Class With Daiquiri Dusk and Wild Card Kitty

Ever wanted to learn to striptease like Gypsy Rose Lee or move like Dita Von Teese?
An exclusive opportunity to learn the basics of burlesque, in this special one-off introductory class, hosted by two of Scotland's premier burlesque artistes!

About the teachers:
Wild Card Kitty is an award-winning performer described as “Dita John Cleese”. A cross between a Film Noir Vixen and a Silent Film Comedienne she performs routines that range from clownish comedy through American Striptease to the down right weird.
Daiquiri Dusk, known as 'Scotland's Rock n' Roll Burlesque Bombshell'  is an award-winning performer, whose routines range from classic, American-style burlesque striptease, to cute cheesecake pin-up pieces and down n' dirty rock n' roll!
Both burlesque beauties have been performing since 2006 and have graced stages internationally across the UK, Europe and the USA.

The Class
Lasting for 2 hours, Daiquiri Dusk and Wild Card Kitty will take you through a whirlwind history of burlesque, from it's first incarnations, through to the present neo-burlesque movement. You’ll then be taken in a brief warm-up (so wear comfortable clothing!) before moving on to some basic burlesque posing and movement before being taken step by step through the basics of striptease technique. You'll learn how to remove gloves (with a saucy twist!), how to work with feather boas onstage (or in the bedroom), bra removal technique*  and to finish off, basic tassel twirling technique.**
After the class, you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions and to buy your own pair of nipple tassels at a special discounted rate for participants.
*Bring an extra bra for this - worn over clothing
**Nudity not required - can be done over bras / tops.

Including 1 FREE boa!
