WORKSHOP 1: MAPLE ROSE (MELBOURNE) NAME OF WORKSHOP: Charleston 101 DATE/TIME: 13 July - 400pm to 500pm DESCRIPTION: The Roaring Twenties were the bee’s knees, when flappers glugged down giggle water, and Jazz clubs were the cat’s pyjamas. In this comprehensive and physical workshop, we’ll break down the key dance styles of the era with a step by step guide to un-boggle your mind and rid you of two left feet. Bring your dancing shoes, however flat shoes are encouraged. We’ll be bouncing around, so wear comfortable active clothing with freedom of movement. LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE: Open Level WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: Low dance heels or flat soled sneakers. Wear comfy active clothing as we will be sweating up a storm! TEACHER BIO: This beacon of Canadian wonderment, this shimmering Aurora Borealis, has been described as the unwanted lovechild of Tempest Storm and Lucille Ball. She’s Australia’s classiest piece of bacon on stage, but off stage she smashes tinnies like a champ. Chief hobbies include; smothering herself in poutine, drinking maple syrup from a moose skull and playing hockey with her beaver (wink wink). Her favourite food? Well that’s pretty obvious. She is the one, the only…Miss Maple Rose. Maple Rose is a household name in the Australian burlesque scene and has recently moved back from the Scandinavian Capital, Stockholm, where she joined the in-house cast at Stockholm's local speakeasy, Melt Bar & Restaurant. Back in Australia, Maple jumped into the producing bracket, and now focuses on expanding the local burlesque community with her small intimate burlesque night at The Woodlands Hotel in Coburg, and Melbourne’s newest variety night - Whoop Dee Doo Revue. You can learn from Maple at her regular dance and technique classes at Maison Burlesque, and catch her at events produced by the school. Maple won 1st Runner up in Miss Burlesque Australia Grand Final 2018 and is also the current reigning Miss Burlesque Melbourne 2018. With her background in theatre and costume design, and her strong foundations in dance, Maple truly believes in honouring the history of the burlesque art-form while also being true to yourself. WORKSHOP 2: LUCY LUXE (BRISBANE) NAME OF WORKSHOP: Pose 'n' Poise Perfection! DATE/TIME: 16 July - 500pm - 600pm DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP: Bring the poise of Pinup to your performance both on and off the stage.

WORKSHOP 3: DIESEL DARLING (SYDNEY) NAME OF WORKSHOP: FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT DATE/TIME: 15 July - 600pm - 730pm DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP: 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! LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE: All levels WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: 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) TEACHER BIO: Diesel Darling, aka the Danger Barbie, is Australia's one woman Va Va Vroom machine! Best known for her signature "Serpentease" act with her beloved pet python Danger and her bubbly NV take on the classic lady in a Champagne glass act.

In 2016 she was selected as one of only 10 artist from around the globe to debut at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. In 2018 she was hand picked to join the tour of Crowned Queen of Burlesque (Miss Exotic World). 2018 also saw her brought back to the big stage as both a featured artist for the Australian Burlesque Festival, as well as selected as one of just 4 international headliners of The New Caledonia Burlesque Festival. At the start of 2019 Diesel was literally brought back by popular demand to teach another week of burlesque workshops in New Caledonia, and they still cant get enough of her so are flying her back in April to once again headline the New Caledonia Burlesque festival, this time alongside Briefs. Most recently Diesel diesel has rocked the stage at Adelaide fringe on tour with After Hours Cabaret.
