Instructor GiGi Holliday, teaches you the ins and outs of classic burlesque movement! Of the many moves associated with classic burlesque, there is the bump & grind—two great foundational moves that any performer can use to build a dynamic and entertaining act. Classic burlesque moves are great tools to have in your performer shimmy belt. In addition to learning classic moves, students will explore ways to implement them for use with live bands and the occasional "oh no" moments on stage. Students should wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. No prior dance experience is necessary.
The sparkle of a rhinestone in the spotlight. The hypnotic shimmy of fringe across the hips. The caress of a silk stocking along the leg. This year’s Tassels & Champagne is a celebration of returns: the return of live burlesque, the return of glitz and glamour, and the return of Gilded Lily to the Creative Alliance.
