burlesque anyone?
 

hey ladies, so i joined a burlesque class!
burlesque is all about feeling confident and beautiful in your body and embracing your curves. Its been fun so far. I even ordered a black corset!
anyone else take burlesque classes?

A WHAT now? Elaborate. :)

The mere fact that you're getting a corset for it makes it sound awesome to me, lol. I have a whole box full of corsets, I love 'em. (Makes the boyfriend happy, that's for sure, lol.)

Burlesque!!!

It's definitely on my to-do list. We have a local show called "Blue Light Burlesque" (http://www.bluelightburlesque.com/) too, which I always mean to catch. I really love classic burlesue, in the really decadent Moulin Rouge, topless and feather style ;)

It's definitely a curvy-confidence thing though I don't know how intensive it is.

Sounds exciting! I don't think they have anything like that in my area, but I would definitely try it out.

Have you been to any classes yet or just signed up today?

Sounds fun!

They have classes!?!? I wanna take one!!

For my birthday I want to go to an actual show, but I didn't know they had classes!

I want to do it!!!!!!

Any exercise videos on this one? Sounds really interesting!

thus far i have been to one class. we are preforming a number for v day if i get up the courage. lol. the routine gets us moving for sure. we are using boas. it seems to be alot of fun so far. I was really worried that i would be the biggest girl and it would be a bunch of sticks in my class, thats not the case though, there are lots of curvy girls, its really refreshing.

there is going to be a pastie work shop where we will be learning how to spin tassels on our nipples... lol. I am kinda nervous about that, but it should be fun! i have a friend in the class who has taken two other sets of classes and she said its always a blast.

i am in calgary alberta, it seems like lots of cities have troops though you should check it out for sure.

OMG!!!
What a fab idea!!!
I love love love burlesque and pin up girls and all things retro-- I just found out that they offer classes and pin up training and photo shoots in my area. As soon as I get a little money I am soooooo signing up!!!!

that sounds like so much fun! Jealous!

omg this post reminds me i was thinking about doing this a while ago!, there are videos on it which you can get from ann summers lol as i dont think there are classes in my area :-(

woop

I would love to take a class! I bet it's so much fun and really a confidence boost.

They don't have classes in the DC area - I looked this weekend :(

Oh, why did I move out of NJ...

Sounds like fun! :)
