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 1: 200pm to 255pm 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.
