Yes! This course covers some aspects of dance and movement but it is not a dance class. Evelyn's background is in theatre performance and directing. The Intro to Burlesque course is a theatrical performance class where we touch on a variety of skills for burlesque-ing, like classic burlesque movement & music, stage presence, striptease, playing characters, improvising and more. If you're looking for dance classes - sign up to our Monday & Tuesday drop-in classes.
Heels are optional, not required.
Intro to Burlesque is for every body (but you must be over age 18+)
Anyone new to the Soho School of Burlesque must complete the 4wk course before signing up to the 8wk Act Creation courses. It's not just an introduction to burlesque, but an introduction to the school and you will always learn something new. In fact, many of our Act Development alumni who perform on the scene regularly drop in to the Intro classes for a refresher!
