Burlesque Chair Dance Lesson
Sunday, February 6th
12:00-1:30 Virtual
In honor of Valentine's Day, we're thrilled to present a fun and flirty workshop! Burlesque performer Petty Treason is back for a much requested second edition of this popular class. Petty will guide you through a warm up, chair dance move basics, and then teach you steamy choreography! A recording of the lesson will be yours to access until the end of the month, so you can practice and perform for yourself or a significant other. This class is fun, flirty, and for any movement level. All gender expressions and identities are always welcome.
Petty Treason (she/her/hers) is a Minneapolis-based performer, producer and educator. Her works include the creation and production of "Whose Bra is it Anyways?," a burlesque improv show based in Minneapolis, tech production of the "Nudie Nubies World Wide: An Amateur Reveal" and is co-production of "Capital City Cabaret." Petty has produced many of her shows virtually in 2020 with great success. Petty is on staff at the Rose Academy of Burlesque and has taught classes focusing in movement, burlesque skills, and acting! When she isn't running around like a chicken with her head cut off, she is probably cuddling her two dogs Mike and Natalie and eating spinach dip.
