Gypsy: You've Gotta Have a Gimmick
With the Ministry of Burlesque Academy
Sun 24 May | 15.30-17.30 | General Level | Dance Base | £14 (£11)
We invite you to come and play the burlesque dancer, elevated froma chorus girl ‘bumping in the back row’ to burlesque starlet. Using music from the classic film Gypsy, this workshop, suitable for all ages and abilities, and open to both males and females, takes its inspiration from the American burlesque houses of the 1920s. We will create a group dance routine with shimmies, shakes, quivers and the inimitable burlesque bump and grind. Character work will be integral to this class, where tongue-in-cheek humour will go hand in hand with classic burlesque dance moves. Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring small heels.
Were you there? If you were, please do leave us some feedback if you can!
Make sure you catch the rare screening of Gypsy at the Filmhouse on Monday 25th May!
