Nerdlesque for Twobies: Falling Star Edition
About this Event
About this event
Have you taken a previous Nerdlesque for Newbies class and feel the urge to take your performance to the next level? Are you familiar with dance fundamentals and want to try doing it all, a little more nerdy and naked? Now's your chance to polish those rhinestones and sharpen your skills with this Nerdlesque for Twobies class!
What's all this then?
Do you want to feel like a star? Be shining, shimmering, and splendid?
Come join Jayne Fondue in this six-week progressive nerdlesque class.
This gender-inclusive, body-positive intensive for performers will also cover what goes into creating professional-level production numbers that are fun, cheeky, funny, and created to your level to make you look your best!
You'll learn intermediate level choreography, formations, and how to refine your stage presence and performance.
This class culminates in a group performance in Geekenders' newest show, STUDIO JIGGLY! A Burlesque Variety Show tribute to Studio Ghibli, Performed at the Roundhouse Theatre on Friday, September 4th, 2026.
Theme: Falling Stars
Star Children from Howl's Moving Castle: set to Florence & the Machine's "Cosmic Love"
Style:
This piece will be more of a contemporary soft flow, featuring some beginner veil moves. Get dramatic and explore your sensuality while keeping it playful with some nerdy twists.
What do you need?
Yourself, a person of any (adult) age, background, or gender(optional)
A desire to perform, an eagerness to learn, and a willingness to get outside your comfort zone!
A tolerance for puns
As this is an Intermediate-level class, previous experience/comfort in a dance-class environment is helpful!
