Feeling disconnected from your body?
Struggling to feel confident, expressive, or at home in your skin?
Curious about what might shift if you learned to move with your body instead of judging it?

This 10-week introductory Burlesque series is an invitation to build embodiment, body confidence, and self-trust in a supportive, consent-centered, trauma-informed space.

Led by Rachel, director of The Feral Showgirls and owner of Live Body Brave, this series uses burlesque as a powerful tool for reconnecting with your body, exploring expression, and practicing being seen—on your own terms. The focus is not on looking a certain way, but on feeling present, grounded, and empowered in your body.

Over ten weeks, students will explore the history of burlesque while learning foundational movement, prop work, character exploration, act creation, costuming, and stage makeup. Emphasis is placed on listening to your body, honoring boundaries, and cultivating confidence through choice, curiosity, and play.

Performance opportunities are optional, with a supportive end-of-session recital for those who wish to participate.

Details:
• Wednesdays, 7:30–8:30 PM for 10 weeks (PLEASE NOTE! The May session will now begin on May 20th NOT May 6th. Thank you!)
• Open to ages 18+
• $250 for the full session
• Limited to 12 participants to ensure safety, connection, and individualized support

This is a space to practice inhabiting your body with compassion, confidence, and courage—and to discover that your presence alone is enough.
