Course Overview



Burlesque is the art of performance which inspires confidence and self-love in those who practice it! In an age where media so heavy influences our body image, it is important to remember that our physique isn’t meant to be celluloid ‘perfect’. On this course students discuss the history of Burlesque and through each week’s new learning discover techniques and tools which people have at their disposal to feel confident. In the final week, students are encouraged to work together to utilise all their learning and create their own mini performance!
