What to bring to the workshop: Yourself, dance shoes (suede bottom) or any other non marking shoe. No stilettos or trainers. A spare bra/back fastening top. A spare button up shirt.

What's provided: Opera gloves, (non feather) boas, pasties (tassels), feather fans (a pair each)

Note: You can experience burlesque without ‘revealing all’ so there's the option to try tassels ontop of clothing or give it a spin for real. Choice is yours

In my 11 years of teaching this wonderful theatrical art, I have seen people blossom before my eyes. The power of being given permission to feel utterly fabulous can be life changing, and everyone deserves to know how this feels

You do not need to be a dancer, an athlete or fully able bodied to take part but if you do have any physical limitations which might affect your walking, stability or general movement, please email me to check prior to booking dawn@dawnsvintagedo.com. The burlesque community is open to all and all abilities are showcased, but for the purpose of this workshop it's useful to know in advance how I need to adjust some choreography so that everyone can fully enjoy the experience
