Burlesque Performance Series at Dad’s Garage

This burlesque performance series is designed to give participants the knowledge, skills, & confidence to build a solo burlesque performance. From concept to stage ready performance, this creative container will offer methods of support, sustainability, and presence to nourish the vulnerable process of the ecdysiast. Students will have the opportunity to present their acts on stage at an intimate showcase at the end of the series. 

Students will leave the experience with a completed solo performance & optional Photo & Video Footage so they may continue pursuing burlesque as a career or hobby. 

These classes are for all bodies, genders and abilities. No previous burlesque or dance experience required.
