The Playful Peacock Showgirl Academy & The 2013 Minneapolis Burlesque Festival are proud to present Lady Jack!
Whether you're creating a piece for burlesque, dance or theatre, this class is a fun exercise in exploring individual creativity using music as the driving narrative force. Students will go through a series of theatrical and dance exercises and will learn one set piece of choreography they will adjust to portray three different characters.
Develop techniques for deepening intention, layering on emotion, and ultimately developing a character. For students of various skill levels. Bare feet, dance shoes, or high heels.
