Jan – Feb 2012 Special Guest Workshop Descriptions:
Choreography is your Friend with Honey Touche
Denver’s Sweetheart of Burlesque, Honey Touche, has been in this business for over a decade. That means she has all the right moves to help you feel completely comfortable shaking and shimmying it! Have 2 left feet? Can’t count music to save your life? Honey’s class will cater to everyone! From the basic beginner to the woman who was forced to take ballet as a child and hasn’t stopped dancing since, Honey will teach everyone how to move the burlesque way, giving you tools so that anyone can choreograph a routine to their sweetheart’s favorite song for a nice birthday surprise! Honey is a regular performer and producer at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret and has toured all over the country from San Francisco to New York City and Las Vegas! You can also see her alongside her go-go troupe the Touchettes!
Pastie Making and Tassel Twirling with Fannie Spankings
Learn to construct your own pasties! The perfect adornment for any
breast, a cute pair of pasties is the best way to show your twins just
how special you think they are! Pasties make a fabulous gift for a
girlfriend, or a sexy surprise to wear for your honey. Any boob can
twirl a tassel, and students will learn all the secrets in this fun
class that isn’t for the faint of heart! Students will make their very
own pair of tasseled pasties and test them out in the safety and
supportive surroundings of their Burlesque sisters. We will also get
our cardio shimmy on as we work on a upbeat chorus girl routine –
complete with a tassel twirl reveal!
Playing with Props with Peggy Tulane
Peggy Tulane has been performing Burlesque since 2005 and has developed her own style of Performative Poetry and comedy that she incorporates into most of her acts. She received her MFA from CU/Boulder in 2003 in Dance and loves to combine modern dance and aerial dance into her acts as well. In this workshop she will introduce techniques that will help you become comfortable working with props and start to see the endless creative possibilities while developing your own act!
About the Pinup/ Burlesque Act Posing Lesson with Tatianna TaTa
Do you feel awkward in front of the camera? Don’t think you’re photogenic? Confused on What Angles and Pictures to Make on the Stage? No problem! Tatianna TaTa will give you posture and posing secrets that work with any photography style to strategically emphasize and de-emphasize body parts to visually sculpt your body, emphasize your bustline, slim the midriff, elongate your legs, and slim out your hips or add weight to your booty (depending on your preferences). You will also get insight on pinup posing and photo movement, including specifics for face, body and hands. As well as personality projection: You’ve heard that “it’s all in the eyes” and the best models “make love to the camera.” Learn how to gain confidence in front of the camera and present a powerful persona
All of these tricks are perfect to incorporate into your burlesque act!
