About Burlesque

This fun and sassy Burlesque dance class in Bournemouth is a fabulous way to finish the week and start the weekend!  Combining the traditional burlesque dance style with modern and vibrant songs this class will bring out your inner Diva! 

What To Expect

Teacher Ruby Adams brings out the performer in you and creates fun, energising and big music routines that will get you moving, laughing and strutting all at once. Each week is a new routine, building new skills and confidence, sometimes working with the ballet barre, sometimes with a chair.  There’s never a dull moment! 

You’ll learn all the basic skills of Burlesque from fan dancing, glove removal, chair dancing, prop work, stage craft and more.   Dance just for fun in class or there’s an opporunity to perform at our Revue showcase at the end of Autumn and Spring terms.

It’s the class you didn’t know you needed until you’ve tried it! 

Frequently Asked Questions

What shoes should I wear to my class?

Our studio floors are especially designed for your comfort and safety. They can mark easily and we ask that you wear light soled trainers (grey or white) or non-marking dance shoes. Some classes (for example ballet and tap) may require specific footwear, but trainers can also be worn to these classes. If you are new to a class, just attend in trainers and your teacher can advise for future classes.

What clothes should I wear?

Just wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing. Your teacher will advise you if you should wear anything specific in the future.
