Quarterly Series: Burlesque Skills & Props
This quarter guides students through the creative process of building a burlesque act from concept to choreography. Students learn how to identify their artistic voice, craft compelling narratives, design acts that suit their strengths, and make intentional aesthetic choices around music, costuming, staging, and emotional tone. By the end of the quarter, each student will have a strong act blueprint (or a fully choreographed piece) ready for refinement.
Students may enroll in the full 6-class Burlesque Foundations Series at a special bundle rate of $150, or choose to take individual classes for $30 each.
