CLASSY SEXY FUN (ALL LEVELS )
Burlesque has experienced a new revival in the 21st Century! Burlesque, like belly dance, can be taken in many directions. Our burlesque classes range from styles of the golden age of burlesque from the 1920’s to 1960’s, to more modern interpretations and fusions with contemporary styles.
Learn the dance and movement of "burlesque" while exploring your personal sensual expression. Dancers may (and are encouraged to!) find themselves developing an alternate ‘burlesque’ persona...
We will be working on the movement and performance personality of the individual as much as possible while learning simple dance steps, arm movements and playing with attitude & performance.

Check the Special Course schedule for the next class start time.
It is highly recommended that students taking the Burlesque Classes also take our Foundations Class; it will improve your lines, posture, and confidence so that you can take your Burlesque to the next level.
BURLESQUE DANCE
Join the dance movement of Burlesque! This is not stripping, this is feminine empowerment, sensuality through dance! Own your body, your sensuality, gain confidence in your femininity and express yourself!
Some movement experience recommended but not required (dance, yoga, martial arts etc.). Classes taught by members of Meow Factor, our professional burlesque performing troupe, who can be seen performing in St Petersburg and around Tampa Bay.
