Burlesque Classes in Los Angeles

If you're looking for a workout with a difference, then burlesque classes are the perfect way to get in shape and feel sexy at the same time.

The best thing about burlesque is that it suits women of all shapes and sizes because the whole concept is about celebrating the female form and learning the art of tease.

The tricks you'll learn through mastering the moves of burlesque will make you sassy, sexy and seductive because it's about knowing how to hook an audience and get them to notice the things you want.

For instance, if you know you have sexy shoulders, you can draw attention to them by wearing a strapless dress and learning how to stand and move so that people notice them.

Simple things like rubbing your shoulders, touching your lips, caressing your neck or crossing your legs ever-so-slowly can drive men crazy, and learning burlesque will teach you exactly how to do that, and get you fit as well.
