Description:

If sexy is a way you want to feel, you deserve to feel that way, right now! This class is body positive, fat positive, and is great for all ages above 18 and ability levels. Arielle and Kathy are here to help you feel good in the body you have in this very moment, because we believe that sexy is a state of mind, not a state of body!

Led by an enthusiastic and funny mother-daughter teaching team, this class learns a fun and easy to follow routine over the course of 4-6 weeks that features the foundational moves of burlesque, including the bend n-snap, grind, shimmy and body roll. You can expect to see a quick warm up, movement and technique explanation, a full breakdown of the steps of the routine, and then lots of practice of the dance over the course of 45 minutes. We study many different styles of burlesque, and our playlist includes categories like jazz, big band, blues, rock, pop, trap and hip hop.

You can start class at any time, as we learn a new section of the dance each week. If you prefer to start at the beginning of a routine, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and we're happy to guide you on the best time to begin. You can also check the homepage for our next projected start date!

Dance Life prides itself on being a safe space for all bodies to find joyful movement, especially those who have felt left out of a traditional dance class. We want to help you feel great and have fun moving and dancing in the body you have right NOW. Our classes are free from talk of diets, calories, or cosmetic benefits of movement. We focus on having fun, gaining new skills, and honoring our body as it shows up each day! We believe every BODY deserves access to joyful dance and movement.
