Connection and Musicality 2 (Beginner)
Do you want to try burlesque dancing but aren't sure where to start? Want to add a little sass to your movement? Or to boost your confidence and self-love? Join international burlesque artist Fleur du Mal for regular burlesque-based dance sessions, every Wednesday evening!
In this course we'll be focusing on building deeper connections with the music, our bodies, and the movements we make. We'll work on a routine over six weeks, exploring how to make our dancing feel more natural, expressive, and true to ourselves. These classes are beginner level, suitable for those who have no burlesque or dance experience - or those who have completed one or more of our 'Introduction' courses.

Choreography 102 (Intermediate)

In this course we'll be looking at the process of choreographing an individual burlesque act. We'll focus on using our song, costume, and characterisation techniques to create a full routine from the ground up! These classes are intermediate level, suitable for those who have burlesque or dance experience - including those who have already completed our Choreography + Characterisation courses.

Staging Sexy: All Eyes On You (workshop)
Do you wish you could be sexier on stage, but aren't sure where to start? Are you convinced that you just 'can't do' sexy? Then this workshop is for you! International burlesque artist Fleur du Mal has almost two decades of experience in convincing people she's sexy - and she's going to show you how she did it! This one-off workshop in Nottingham will cover facial expressions, body movements, and attitude to help you bring out your sexiest self.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
Although the workshop is primarily aimed at performers of all disciplines (e.g. burlesque dancers, drag performers, singers, pole and aerial artists), it's also great for models, content creators, and anyone who wants to increase their confidence in their body and enjoy their sexiness!
The workshop is movement optional - rather than learning a dance routine, we will be exploring how our body moves and flows. Any exercises given will be low impact, and alternatives will be offered where possible.
Introduction to Burlesque Movement
Do you want to try burlesque dancing but aren't sure where to start? Feel like it's time to go back to basics? Or just want a little boost to your confidence?
