About this Event
What is FloorWERK?: Get it on the floor! Join burlesque artist and choreographer Ari/Elle Du Jour in a fun, flirty, & filthy way to explore the floor. In this sensual burlesque dance class, the focus will be on building several core ground-based “skills” per class, creative drills, then incorporating them into choreography… or should we say FLOOReography?
Level: Intermediate/Beginner (some sort of previous dance or movement background will certainly help!)
Vibes: $*XY, burlesque, contemporary/modern dance, floorwork, jazz fusion, top 40, R&B, slow grind, “heels” (but not really)
Song hints/inspo: Guess x Charli XCX, If You Let Me x Sinead Harnett, Gibson Girl x Ethel Cain, The High x Kelela
