This course will cover valuable topics such as

  • stage presence

  • audience interaction

  • act development

  • costuming

  • stage makeup

  • tips for getting booked, and more!

Suitable for beginners and those wanting to improve their performance foundations. Applicable for all styles of performance, not just burlesque.

Burlesque Performance Course

$320/5-week course (Payment plans available)

 

The Burlesque Performance Course ends with a live group performance on stage at the Burlesque Baby show in Wellington. Classes are 1.5 hours long.

This practical 5-week course puts the tools you learn during the Performance Fundamentals course into effect. Here you will not only learn a group choreography, but also grow your confidence, be coached on the process of creating a burlesque routine from start to stage, and be supported on the day of the show by your instructor.

All props and most costuming items are provided as part of the course fee, but students are required to provide their own shoes and undergarments. Guidance will be given on what to get and where from, if you don't already have anything suitable.

Pre-requisites: at least the Beginner Burlesque course (or prior burlesque experience), as well as the Performance Fundamentals course at Studio L'amour.

Mentoring & Private Lessons

 

Studio L’amour offers a Mentoring Programme in a 5-session package structured to prepare you for a solo performance. Guidance and support is given at every stage of the development process to help you feel your most comfortable and confident on and off stage. 

We also offer private lessons whether it’s to choreograph a dance routine to surprise a friend, to work on a solo routine, or simply to avoid group classes and have extra focus on your individual requirements.
