Kingston Workshops

This all-bodies, all-genders burlesque masterclass covers choreography, postures and movements designed to draw attention to and flatter the lower body. Influenced equally by ballroom dance and the pinup aesthetic, this workshop is a loving ode to the tantalising appeal of “peaches” and “stems” of every shape and size. Note: This workshop can easily be adapted if your legs look or function differently from most other people’s legs! Stocking peels are largely about establishing silhouettes and tantalizing an audience with anticipatory movement. These principles can be applied to gauntlet peels (for dancers with no lower body mobility) or otherwise adapted to your unique and particularly sensual body.

This workshop is designed for new burlesque performers aiming to enhance their presence and confidence. In this engaging workshop, we’ll tackle stage fright and share grounding techniques to calm pre-performance nerves. You'll learn effective tips and tricks to connect with your audience, ensuring every performance is unforgettable. Step into your spotlight with enthusiasm and grace!

Embrace the universal form of play that is Air Guitar, rocking out like no one is watching! Join me as we dive into this joyful style of self expression, where we'll play with the concepts of Air Guitar and how this art of play can be brought from bedroom solos to main stage rock venues or integrated as a crowd-favorite moment into any stage performance. Are you looking for a radical way to play? Do you love Rock N Roll? Excellent! Air Guitar is for you! This workshop will touch on Air Guitar Championships, and the considerations for developing an air guitar act, centered around the Official Air Guitar World's judging criteria.

Join us for "Sparkle Smart: Budget-Friendly Burlesque Costuming," where we’ll discuss creative DIY tips and tricks to craft stunning costumes without straining your wallet.
