Workshop 1: 900am to 1000am Instructor: Sweetpea (USA) Class Description: Shimmy It, Quake It, MAKE IT BOUNCE! Wiggle Workshop & Workout! You've seen them in videos, on the stage, and out on the dance floor. People of all shapes, sizes, and genders astoundingly swivel, jiggle, toss, and twerk their front-sides & backsides about. It's time for you to join in the fun! We'll warm up, get a little stretch in, and then you will learn a few foundations, isolations, and basic techniques to get your own body bouncing for the burlesque stage or the dance floor! Tips and tricks for transitions are shown to move from standing to the floor. This class will teach every student how to awaken and utilise the pelvic tilt along with foot and knee utilisation as the foundation for all booty popping and body rocking, and will leave class with at least 3 new ways to wiggle their body. What to bring: Bring: Water, towel Wear: Comfortable clothing you feel sexy in and your booty can be free in! Booty shorts of all flavours, sweats with great movement, etc. (Restrictive/overly supportive yoga pants not recommended) Level: All levels Workshop 2: 1015am to 1115am Instructor: Diesel Darling (Sydney) Class Description: FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT Just starting out? Been around forever? Still cant do the splits? Look like you fell over in reverse getting up from some floor-work? Well then this is the workshop for you! Diesel Darling is here to show you how everybody can 'look' like they are nailing that split and working those angles like a professional showgirl. Everyone's body is different and everybody has its own limitations in one position or another but that doesn’t mean you cant 'pretend' and get away with it. After all burlesque is all just 'smoke and mirrors' baby! Just like magic there is a trick to everything, you just need to find someone willing to let you in on the secret! In this workshop Diesel will teach you how to showcase your natural strengths to your advantage and how to disguise your weaker skills and slay that audience. You do not have to be an elite gymnast to wow a crowd with your physicality, you just need to know which hand goes where or what knee to bend or foot to put your weight on. After 10 years of teaching beginners to advanced pole dance and flexibility techniques, Diesel has learnt a thing or two about fudging even the most complicated tricks. In this class you will be taught how to execute seemingly difficult moves and make it look effortless as well as the art of distraction and deception. The principle applies to flawless costume removal and in this class we will focus on the art of seduction using nothing but a couple of gloves. At the end of the day burlesque is all about confidence, and we all know confidence is sexy! What to bring: Wear comfortable form fitting clothing that makes you feel sexy and fierce! BRING a pair of gloves. Heels turn a walk into a strut and make everything more fun, but they are in no way a requirement (make sure they are comfortable and you can move in them) Level: All levels Workshop 3: 1130am to 1230pm Instructor: Ella Fontaine (Brisbane) Class Description: Develop an original costume design - Skills Will cover: Fun games to get you thinking “outside the box”. Using research and inspiration to develop original ideas. How to communicating what type of seductress you are Develop your character through the right costuming. Rules for developing a strong and cohesive costume. Develop ideas through illustration. Develop a scheme sheet so that you can effectively plan your budget and communicate your design. What to bring/wear: Inspirational materials /fabric swatches/ scissors, glue, lead pencil, eraser, smart phone to access internet. Level: Beginner to Intermediate. Drawing skills not required. Workshop 4: 1245pm to 145pm Instructor: Chris Oh (Europe) Class Description: "The art of the ballet line and extension. Look at those legs!." A ballet for burlesque class with a focus on placing and extending the body to always shape and display your best ass'sets with poise, posture and grace. The class starts with a simple barre, across the floor exercises and then an adage and port de bras sequence which we shall then Burlesque'ify. Throughout the class emphasis will be placed on deportment of the body and limbs with application to turn-out, bevelled angles and continuous reach. What to bring/wear: Comfy clothes perfect for movement, water, notepad and pen Level: All levels Workshop 5: 200pm to 300pm Instructor: Jazida Class Description: Silk Fan Veils Silk fan veils are a hypnotic and extravagant prop that can dramatically enhance performances with a whirl of colours! Jazida (who was awarded the title of "Miss Fantastic 2016" for being the best fan dancer in the Miss Burlesque Australia competition and who also holds a series of other awards) is known for her use of silk fan veils and she will share her tips and techniques on using these props with showgirl style!

We’ll explore single, double, open and closed fan work to help build strength in the core, wrists, arms, back; increase flexibility; and develop musicality.
