May June 2026 with Burlesque Burn!
Our May / June 2026 session is exploring the power of the slow burn, bringing our inner feline out to play, and creating new art together - and registration is now open! We have Slow, Sexy Sizzle, Frisky Floor Work (both Open level classes which means suitable for beginners), as well as another round of the always popular Solo Sensation - back by popular demand! All classes culminate in an optional performance in the session showcase (Bling Bash 13 - scheduled for Friday June 12).
To register please email [email protected] with the class you wish to take as well as your preferred name.
Burlesque Burn sessions are 6 weeks unless otherwise noted. In-person classes include a 7th weekend rehearsal class (see calendar below) prior to our final week.
Burlesque Burn prides itself on small in-person class sizes, therefore class registration is currently capped at 10 students. Solo Sensation is capped at 7 students. Your spot in class is guaranteed and registration is confirmed once payment is received in full.
To perform in the end of session showcase (which is, of course, always optional), you must attend a minimum of 4 of the 7 classes, including the last class of the session as it is our dress rehearsal. You are strongly encouraged to attend the bonus rehearsal class prior to our final week (and performance).
Solo Sensation: our final class is dedicated to workshopping your new act with your peers and receiving loving and constructive feedback. In the event of a full class (up to 7 students) both classes 5 & 6 will be workshopping classes and all students must attend BOTH.
Please note in-person classes are held in accordance with all Alberta public health guidelines and bylaws, and will continue to respond to this ever-changing landscape with the best interests of everyone's health and safety in mind. Please DO NOT attend class if you are feeling unwell or exhibiting any signs of illness, or have been in close contact with anyone that has received positive COVID-19 test results.
Fees:
Please note Solo Sensation class fees reflect an extended class time (now 90 minutes per week), as well as half an hour of dedicated studio time outside of class to work on your own and/or one-on-one with Daisy (these blocks of time will be booked after our first class after consulting with everyone. They will be spread over a maximum of two dates). Solo Sensation Early bird registration is $242 until April 24 2026. Solo Sensation registration is $260 after April 24.
Early Bird registration for group open level classes: Slow, Sexy Sizzle Burlesque and Frisky Floor Work are each $215. Registration is $230 after April 24 2026. Students registered in the March / April 2026 session receive a $10 discount (applied to every class when registering for more than one class in the session). Please note your spot in class is not guaranteed until payment is received in full.
Payment can be made via e-transfer or Paypal (please add 2.9% +$0.30 for transaction fees), mailed cheque (please inquire for the mailing address) or in person via cash. If you are experiencing a barrier to paying the registration fee in full before the session start, please reach out.
There is no fee to perform in the end of session showcase, however you are required to purchase your custom-made pasties (which are then, of course, yours to keep!) If you require any additional costume pieces or elements not provided by Burlesque Burn you will be informed of them in the first class.
Costume / prop deposit: if you would like to take props and/or costume pieces home to practice with between classes there may be a nominal deposit required, which will be returned once loaned props/pieces are returned in like condition.
Burlesque Burn is a fitness and dance class combined - a 20 minute workout (which you can do all week at home), followed by 40 minutes of dance. You will learn a choreography to perform at the end of session show as well as important life skills to carry with you forever (uh, hello, The Hustle is absolutely a life skill)!
Spring 2026 classes are held at Free Spirit Dance located at 112 16 Ave NW.
Classes:
Burly Essentials Drop In
It's just what it sounds like - a no-commitment crash course on some of the many aspects of Burlesque and dance. Every class focuses on something different and every week will be a new set of combos and choreography to learn. We'll do a full body stretch and warm up before honing in on your new skills.
Wear clothes you can move in (think yoga, dance or gym clothes) and indoor dance shoes or heels if you have them (2" - 3" or under is best)!
The 75 minute Burlesque Drop in class is $25, or 4 / $85. Or 6-class pass for $125 (you can share punch cards!)
Stay tuned for each week's topic, come early to get settled in the studio before we get started - and be sure to complete the waiver before attending: https://www.burlesqueburn.com/registered-class-waiver.html
Registered Classes:
Slow, sexy sizzle (Open Level):
This class is open to all levels and focuses on slowing things down, while building up the heat with isolations and seductive transitions. The choreography is great for those with reduced mobility, a desire to focus on slow, intentional movement, or anyone with an interest in diving into the art of the slow burn.
Frisky Floor Work (Open Level):
Frisky Floor Work is a playful and sensual tease with a concentration on dynamic, sultry floor work. This open level choreography will incorporate deliberate movement and an over-the-top sexy attitude! This class requires the ability to move between standing and floor positions.
Solo Sensation with Daisy DeVille: This wildly popular class is offered to students looking to perform their first (or fifth, or tenth...) solo, and would like guidance and feedback through the creative process. There is no group choreography taught in this class, instead you will spend the 6 weeks building your own solo to optionally perform at the Student showcase. You will have the opportunity to present your piece to your peers and receive critical feedback to help you improve your performance. Also included in the course: a selection of supplies to aid in embellishing your costume, technique and support in costuming, expression and choreography, access to a selection of costume pieces and props, as well as optional additional studio time and optional one-on-one critique and assistance with Daisy DeVille. This class does not include the physical weekly workout, however students do receive focused exercise instruction in their class overview emails. Solo Sensation classes are 90 minutes, you will need to invest a significant amount of time and attention to creating your act outside of the studio if you wish to perform it at Bling Bash 13.
