Dance Place AFTER DARK
In Partnership with Aquarius Moon
Burlesque 101 Series | Moonbeam Academy
Step into the world of classic burlesque — where glamour, history, and self-expression meet. In this introductory workshop through Moonbeam Academy, Aquarius Moon guides you through the foundational techniques of the art form while celebrating the rich legacy of burlesque performance. Students will cover classic bumps, grinds, and shimmies, the showgirl stance and stage presence, and how to strut like a true burlesque queen. Each session focuses on a signature technique and prop — we will have extra robes, gloves and boas so if you don’t own any of the items we use in class no worries!
