Burlesque Chair Dance
We start our Burlesque Classes working on, off and around the Chair. During the Chair Dance section of burlesque class you can expect to learn graceful ways to dance with the chair. Our carefully choreographed routines designed to tone your arms, abs, legs and waist will mean you learn moves and see improvements in fitness. We use chairs designed for dancing on and these are suitable for all shapes and sizes.
Moves are repeated each week to help you improve your skills, ability and movement memory. The chair dance moves are choreographed to an empowering soundtrack to help you let go of inhibitions and focus on the enjoyment of movement and dancing.
Take a look at the Chair Dance section of a Burlesque class below, followed by a mini tutorial with our instructor SJ on some beginner chair dance burlesque moves.
Burlesque Routine Section
At the second section of Burlesque class you will learn a routine incorporating basic striptease, dance steps and props. Each term students learn a new burlesque inspired routine, and various styles of burlesque are rotated. We cover all styles at our burlesque classes including rock, Neo-burlesque, classical, cheesecake and cabaret. Offering a variety of styles brings a wealth of knowledge to our students and means we cater for everyone’s tastes.

Who is the class suitable for?
The routines are suitable for all levels and abilities, you do not have to have danced before to take part. The routine is broken down and added on each week to support learning styles, you can also have access to routines to practise at home and improve.
Students can join Burlesque Fitness Classes from 16 years old.
Do you use props?
We often integrate props to our lessons such as glove removal, clothing removal, chairs, hats, boas, scarves and even canes! We usually focus on one item per term and bring the required items to use during the routine section of lessons. If items are required for a lesson, these are communicated by our lovely instructor SJ so no-one is left without what they need for their lesson.
What do you wear to Burlesque Class?
Wear what makes you comfortable and you can move in. Most students wear leggings/vest top/T shirts. We work in bare feet for our chair dance section and offer the option of wearing heels (with a strap) for the routine section. This is a personal choice and is to encourage the feeling of dancing as a burlesque diva. The shoes are not specialist and can be anything you feel comfortable wearing and can easily stay on your feet when dancing.
Can we wear costumes?
Students are welcome to dress up on our last week of term. Each term we focus on a new routine and this routine may have an obvious theme or outfit associated with it. Students enjoy gathering an outfit to wear on the final week of term. Working towards a routine each week is a great way to build confidence, we encourage a feeling of achievement at the final week of term when we dress up in a costume associated with the routine.
Do you perform in shows?
Our students have performed their routines in small scale shows at local events and at our annual student showcase. The class is focussed on fun, and exploring your dance style and persona. See our shows and events page for images and videos of our previous performances.
Be warned this class is fun and will give you a glamorous glow, an empowering workout experience and the sexy confidence of a true diva!
