Welcome to Flirting With Burlesque!
CLASS INFO
Class is held Thursday evenings, 7-8pm ET from Dec 15-Jan 19.
Wear whatever you want to class. Go as sexy or as comfy as your mood dictates but... just be ready to move. Heels, flat shoes, sneakers or bare feet are all fine. Many people find heels uncomfortable for an hour long class, but taking them off and putting them on is totally fine.
You are meant to be a brand new beginner! You don’t have to know anything or do anything before you arrive.
The classroom opens up a few minutes before class starts so everyone can get situated :)
In the last half of the class (classes 4-6), we will use long sexy gloves (opera gloves) in class to practice striptease moments. They are optional and you can also use winter gloves. I have included suggestions for where to buy gloves below!

I am a 2X and generally wear "standard sized" gloves, but some of my students find plus sized more comfortable or easier to remove, so please go with your body's preference!
INSPIRATION:
Jo Weldon’s book The Burlesque Handbook contains extremely useful information on everything from how to choose a name to how to twirl tassels. I highly recommend it as a companion to your journey into burlesque.

STUFF I SAID I’D LINK IN CLASS:
I like TT Dancewear for dance shoes because they are inexpensive-ish, and you can select your heel height and shape on many of their shoes. They also offer some styles in many colors which makes life easy because you can just keep buying the exact same shoe to match different costumes and you’ll already know how it feels to dance on them. https://www.ttdancewear.com
