Rediscover the timeless power, poise, and sensuality of classic burlesque in this immersive Classical Bump ’n’ Grind Workshop — a celebration of self-expression, movement, and confidence.

Guided by Lisa Darling, Artistic Director of The Irish Burlesque Academy, this workshop invites you to connect with your body through the elegant techniques and rich history of traditional burlesque performance. You’ll explore the foundational vocabulary of the golden era — from isolations and controlled undulations to the dynamic contrast between the bump and the grind — all while refining your sense of rhythm, stage presence, and musicality.

Participants will:

• Learn how to execute classic burlesque movements with precision and grace

• Develop greater body awareness, posture, and fluidity of movement

• Build confidence through performance-based exercises designed to celebrate your individuality

• Master a complete bump ’n’ grind routine featuring panel skirts and classic props (all provided)

• Explore how burlesque can empower, liberate, and reconnect you with your sensuality in a joyful, supportive environment

This workshop isn’t just about choreography — it’s an invitation to celebrate your body exactly as it is, to move with intention, and to experience the transformative power of burlesque. Whether you’re a first-timer discovering the art of tease or a seasoned performer looking to refine your craft, this is your chance to embody confidence, glamour, and unapologetic self-expression.

Step into your power. Embrace your curves. Feel the music. This is burlesque, in its most classic and empowering form.
