Experimental Burlesque Troupe (I to A)

See footage from a previous routine here!

Instructor:  Arielle

Structure:

This class is 60 minutes long, and is offered both livestream and in person on Mondays at 7PM.

There are two options for this class- you can be a part of the troupe and final performance by signing up for the workshop- you can attend both livestream and in person.

OR, you can audit the class and just learn the routine without being a part of the final choreography. The first option does not allow for drop ins, the second option does! Attend livestream or in person- select the “Experimental Troupe Drop In” at checkout.

Enrollment is now open for our next performance on 11/1 at Dance Life! This round, we’ll be starting with a little bit of disco partner dance to Kill The Lights, then SKKRTTT the song changes to Same Parts, where we strip off to reveal glow sticks ala this dance Arielle found on Facebook. This will be a collaborative choreography that we will make on the spot together, and yes, you can expect maximum meat helicopters and other tasteless weiner jokes!

Description:

The experimental burlesque student troupe likes to get weird and sexy! Have a veritable boatload of fun with other dancers from the studio and learn a variety of burlesque routines from sexy chair dances, raunchy floorwork routines to funny routines as male strippers, drag queens and more. This troupe mostly performs for our in-house event called Inappropriate Song Night.

Purchase or acquisition of a basic costume will be required, between $10 and $50 per performance. Arielle recommends at least eight weeks of Fundamentals of Belly Dance followed by 8 weeks of Burlesque Fundamentals before attending this class, but it’s not required.

There is no audition for this troupe. Once you’ve joined, you’ll be added to a Facebook group where we post relevant info about the current act, rehearsal videos, and more!

Cost:

The cost for the current session is $150 for 10 weeks. Payment plans are available, message us to find out more!
