And of course, you'll learn all the fundamentals of burlesque dance! You'll shimmy, shake, undulate, bump, grind, wiggle, jiggle, twirl and swirl your way through the classic burlesque moves. Not only will you walk away with a few new moves for the boudoir, but this is also a great workout! So come down and learn to shape up, the way showgirls do it!
