We are thrilled to announce our brand-new Intermediate & Advanced Burlesque Course, inspired by the legendary choreography and style of Bob Fosse. This exclusive 6-week course will allow students to explore the signature movements and nuances of Fosse’s showgirl aesthetic while seamlessly blending them with our signature Burlesque flair.

Designed for dancers with some experience, the course will focus on enhancing both technique and performance skills. Students will learn essential Fosse techniques, such as his sharp isolations, sensual fluidity, and iconic jazz hands, while bringing their own Burlesque artistry into the mix. This exciting opportunity is ideal for those looking to refine their stage presence, increase their confidence, and take their Burlesque performance to the next level.

Fosse’s choreography, made famous through shows like Cabaret and Chicago, is known for its elegance, sensuality, and precision—qualities that pair perfectly with the art of Burlesque. This course will not only teach dancers to master these techniques but also allow them to embody the Fosse showgirl’s attitude and flair in their own performances.
