Burlesque is for everyone
A four-week Burlesque 101 course taught by entertainer and producer Dorian Dietrich
I’m here to give you that first nudge …
Taking the first step toward trying burlesque can be challenging. Whether you’re nervous about dancing, “baring it all,” or feel like you don’t have what it takes, trying something new can leave you feeling vulnerable. Give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far! <3
I’ve had those thoughts, too. “I can’t dance.” “I’m not sexy enough.” “What if I make a fool of myself on stage?” “No one is going to want to watch me.”
Everyone has a different motivation for trying burlesque. They may want to share a piece of themselves on stage, or perhaps they just want some “me time” to get in touch with their sensuality. Whatever the reason, I want you to know that burlesque is for everyone and everyBODY … and that includes YOU!
In “Burlesque is for Everyone,” we are going to spend four weeks together learning about the history of burlesque, what burlesque can look like today, as well as some of the core elements of burlesque performance. Together we will begin to explore what your burlesque persona might look like, and how you can get more comfortable in your own skin.
Dates: Tuesdays in April 2025, 7:30-8:30 pm. April 8, April 15, April 22, and April 29.
Location: The Hub RWC, 2650 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063
Class Size: Maximum 10 students. All genders welcome!
Fee: $125 for the full session.
Since I know you’re wondering … no, we are not going to get naked in this class! We won’t even get semi-nude.
What we will do is strive to have fun together in a playful, safe, and welcoming environment.
In order to maintain a safe space, we absolutely will not tolerate harassment or discrimination, and consent between students, and between instructor and student, is mandatory.
You do not need any special clothing or gear for this class. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to learn!
