Intro to Burlesque

Start where you are and end up a star in your own eyes!

Patty Cake leads you on a journey to amplify your confidence, smooth out your sexy skills, and dive into the character of your dreams. Open and accepting of all people. This class series will begin where you are and give you a base, a springboard, for further exploration of burlesque as a dance form, as a character study, as act creation, and as implementation. Each individual concept could easily be its own class. This is only the beginning!

"Sexiness is the embodiment of you living in your truth."  ~Perle Noire
