What is Burlesque?

Burlesque is a theatrical dance form that celebrates sensuality, comedy, and self-expression. Modern burlesque reclaims the art of the tease, combining vintage glamour with contemporary body positivity. Our Birmingham classes focus on movement, confidence, and performance skills rather than striptease, creating a safe space for self-discovery and empowerment. Think more vintage showgirl, less nightclub!

Perfect for women seeking to boost confidence, explore sensuality, or simply try something deliciously different, our classes blend dance technique with theatrical flair. You'll learn classic burlesque moves, work with props like feather fans and gloves, and discover how to command attention with attitude and presence. All in a supportive, judgement-free environment where every body is celebrated.

What to Expect in Our Burlesque Classes

  • Warm Welcome: Warm-up with sensual stretches and body awareness exercises
  • Step-by-Step Instruction: Learn signature moves: bumps, grinds, shimmies, and classic walks
  • Music & Rhythm: Explore props like gloves, boas, and fans (provided in class)
  • Partner Work: Build confidence through guided improvisation and expression exercises
  • Social Dancing: Create routines that showcase your unique style and personality
