The Appeal of Stocking Peels

Learn and master the 4 P's of the stocking peel in this 90 minute workshop with Valerie Veils. Think stocking peels are only for classic burlesque? Well think again. Valerie will teach you how to incorporate fun and unique stocking peels into any genre of burlesque.
We will start out with sexy stretches for burlesque and how to appear more flexible while performing your peels. We will cover creative and unique ways to remove your shoes. Then we will master stocking peels in the sitting and standing position, and last but not least we will move to removals on the floor, in the splits, and even on your head (YES! I said on your head) don't worry you can take notes for the future!
BYO: Thigh High Stockings, Garters, Long Socks, Leg Warmers, your favorite pair of Heels.whatever you want to learn to peel off your legs.
This class is for all levels!
