Couch to Burly Q (C2BQ)
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Break a sweat, strengthen your body and learn classic burlesque moves!
So about this burlesque business…If you’ve found yourself saying:
“Ooooh, I wish I could do that!”
or
“I want to do that!”
or maybe your “I wish…” is followed by…BUT
“Buuuuuuut…I’m too old…too out of shape…too heavy…too flat chested…too shy…too self conscious…not graceful…not sexy…not a dancer…not girly enough…can’t walk in heels…got no rhythm…”
*AHEM* If you wish it, if you want it, no matter how big or small your “but” is – This class is for you.
No previous dance or burlesque experience needed. This is a movement class aimed at leveling up your strength, grace and confidence. So come get sweaty and get your groove on. This class is appropriate for all levels.
Here’s what students are saying about this class:
“LOVE everything about the movement class. Left feeling so super sexy and felt the burn…..in all the right places!”
“One of my best experiences ever. Before the class, and often during it, I felt so like I wasn’t sexy or graceful, and though the strictly physical stuff wasn’t too much of a challenge, so many of the movements were difficult and/or awkward for me. I still don’t think I have it all down, but I feel so much less awkward, and have been able to get out onstage and feel beautiful, graceful, and even sexy as a result of these classes! “
“The first time I took it- I sucked all over the place. I could have been easily discouraged, but as time went on I increased my core strength and acknowledged my limitations as temporary. Pushing through was the key to that class. … there is zero glamour (in the class) other than sexy sweating. ie: don’t come glammed up unless you want to sweat it off! “
What to wear/bring:
- Wear clothes and shoes that are comfortable to move in.
- A pair of comfortable heels are recommended too, we’ll wear them for the last few minutes of class. (If you have character shoes or ballroom dance shoes these would be perfect)
- Please bring a yoga mat/towel and a water bottle.

Accentuate the Positive: A Burlesque/Boudoir/Pin Up Posing Class
Vargas
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Come strike a pose with Sweet Louise! Gather pointers on body posture, presentation and poise!
Performers often have a mental image of what looks sensual and sexy and then find photographs do not reveal the vision they imagined they were creating. Pin up style posing and performance presentation often includes extreme angles and a different “physical vocabulary” than we use in our every day lives.
Inspired by her time as an artist’s model, Sweet Louise shares how to accentuate your beautiful lines and curves. While learning to move with confidence and grace, discover which poses, postures and positions are most flattering for you.
The most beguiling of performances/poses will fall flat if there is too much tension or lack of animation in the body or the face. Learn exercises to mobilize those facial muscles! Check that cheeky profile and give good face!
Join us for this 2 and a half hour workshop Saturday, July 14th from 10am – 12:30pm and level up your performance on stage or in front of the camera by accentuating the positive!
Students are saying:
It…” helped me hold my head higher and keep my back straighter when I’m walking. In other words, I have become more awesome.”
What to Wear:
Wear something comfortable to move in – yoga wear would be great.
Suggested (but not required) to Bring:
- a pair of your performance shoes.
– a hand held mirror that will reflect your whole face (something larger than a compact please)
Class Level:
- This workshop is open to all levels from beginner to advanced.
