COCO'S BURLESQUE WORKSHOPS
CLASSIC TECHNIQUE
In this 90-minute technique-focused workshop inspired by the Jazz Era and Golden Age of burlesque.
This class centres on the iconic classic burlesque silhouettes—think clean lines, deliberate pacing, refined gestures, and confident presence. We’ll explore foundational movement, posture, transitions, and expressive details that create unmistakably classic shapes on stage, while honouring the artistry that defined early burlesque performance.
Designed for all levels, this workshop welcomes beginners looking to build strong fundamentals as well as experienced performers who want to refine and deepen their classic technique. Variations and guidance will be offered so everyone can move comfortably and confidently at their own pace.
