Course Description
Talloolah Love teaches burlesque with an edge, exploring the deeper facets of dance expression in a group dynamic. Still sexy, still fun, but sometimes thought-provoking, statement-making, or just plain silly! Come prepared to move! Come prepared to think, but most of all, come prepared to dance!
Burlesque II is a chorus/ensemble series that focuses on cabaret dance and burlesque movement within group dance routines and techniques. Students will learn the depth of burlesque storytelling from a place of authenticity.
Students will also have the opportunity to help create their costumes, laying the foundation for the DIY nature of the burlesque industry. Students will learn 2 different choreographed routines, focusing on storytelling and characterization in an ensemble setting.
