For information on block pricing please contact us at downstreetdance@gmail.com

This class will pay homage to a variety of burlesque styles and tricks of the trade. Learn classic moves, how to tell a story through movement, improve on burlesque skills, and build confidence in yourself as a performer. Each block will be 6 classes focused on a particular element of burlesque, followed by a special showcase class (free to students participating in the block and closed to the public) to perform anything they've been working on. This class is a safe space to explore yourself as a sexual, sensual being in a fun and tantalizing way while building body positivity and self expression.

This class is catered to all levels, from beginners to the seasoned dancer.

Bring a brimmed hat, gloves, a button up/zip up shirt or vest.

With over 30 years of dance experience, including jazz, modern, ballet and lyrical, Marieve is "poised" to delve back into the world of burlesque. She was the house choreographer for Charlottetown Burlesque from 2016-2018, and has performed in Toronto and on PEI in this style over the last 13 years. Burlesque allows you to explore your desires, unleash your fetishes, poke fun at society, and expound your creativity. It is as much about the story telling and acting as it is about dance, and she hopes to bring an appreciation to her students with this informed class.
