1-2:15: Tech Toolbox: Jazz & Heels Skills for Burlesque
Want to work on your long lines, extended limbs, and photo-ready poses? This is the class for you!
In this workshop, Halena Lou will draw on her 20+ years of dance training (including in jazz, ballet, and heels) and her experience dancing in a professional cabaret company to break down key jazz and heels technique for that showpony look and feel in your burlesque acts. This class is designed for burlesque performers who don’t come from a technical dance background, and will demystify technical terms and give you a foundation of technique.
This workshop is open level, and will include: body warm up; centre exercises to build strength & stability and work on lines; take-home tools for your continued practice; and a short combo. Heels optional, though movements are designed to be done in heels.
2:30-3:45: Dynamic Dancer: Musicality in Movement
Think of this as a heels class with a twist: after learning a heels-based choreo, we'll play with the musicality and dynamics of the movements. You'll leave not only with a fun and challenging new combo, but also with a deeper understanding of how speed, tension, and character can change your movements and leave different impacts on your audience.
This workshop will be taught at an intermediate level, and will include: body warm up; heels warm up; short combo; and musicality exercises. Heels optional, though movements are designed to be done in heels.
Classes are open to individuals who are 19 years of age or older.
Class emails will be sent out the week of classes.
