COCO'S BURLESQUE WORKSHOPS
NEO EXPRESSION
Neo-Expression is a 90-minute exploratory movement workshop that celebrates freedom, individuality, and fearless creativity. This class invites you to step beyond traditional structures and explore dynamic movement, emotional range, and limitless themes—there are no rules, no boxes, and no expectations of what expression should look like.
Set to contemporary music, this workshop encourages you to move instinctively, respond to rhythm and mood, and experiment with texture, tempo, and intention. You’ll be guided through exercises and combinations designed to spark curiosity, unlock new pathways in your movement, and support authentic self-expression.
Open to all levels, Neo-Expression welcomes beginners and seasoned movers alike. Multiple options and approaches will be offered so you can engage at a level that feels right for your body and experience.
This class is held in a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where all identities, bodies, and creative voices are honored. Props will be provided, offering additional tools for exploration, storytelling, and personal interpretation.
WHAT TO WEAR : Bring something you are comfortable to dance in that also allows you to feel however you want to feel in this class. Bring heels as an option, but whatever footwear you are comfortable with is ok for this class. Bring water, to stay hydrated and fabulous!
SLOW & SENSUAL
This 90 minute Slow & Sensual workshop is an invitation to slow down and luxuriate in the how rather than the what. We will explore sensual movement as an art form, where every choice is deliberate and every pause is charged. We will focus on how to cultivate confidence through control and intentional movement, cultivating presence, and discovering how subtlety can be just as powerful as spectacle. You’ll be guided to listen to your body, trust your instincts, and let your sensuality unfold naturally—moment by moment.
What we’ll focus on
Holding space
Slowing down
Sensual touch
Learning how anticipation works: delaying gratification, playing with eye contact, and allowing stillness to speak. We’ll explore how to suggest rather than show, and how to keep the audience leaning forward.
• Intentional movement & pacing
Slow walks, weighted transfers, breath-led gestures, and controlled transitions. We’ll work with pauses, accents, and softness—so nothing feels accidental or rushed.
How the journey of your hands across the body can be as evocative as striptease. Think tracing, framing, hovering, and withholding.
Dropping out of performance anxiety and into sensation. This class is about how it feels in your body, not how it looks to anyone else.
We’ll finish by weaving everything together into a slow, sensual sequence, giving you tools you can return to again and again—on stage, in rehearsal, or simply for yourself.
WHAT TO WEAR : Bring something you are comfortable to dance in that also allows you to feel sensual and empowered. I always encourage a bit of lipstick too if ya fancy! Bring heels and water, to stay hydrated and fabulous!
