Miss Glory Pearl:

The British Pole Dance Academy offers a rare opportunity to learn from professional burlesque and cabaret star, Miss Glory Pearl. To coincide with our launch, we will be offering two one-hour workshops; Burlesque Basics and Circus Aerial Basics.

Burlesque Basics will teach you the secrets of burlesque, how to connect with an audience and deliver a memorable performance, the art of the reveal, and how to develop a stage persona, as well as some sexy, teasing moves. All props are provided and you should wear clothes you can move inand a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Circus Aerial Basics will introduce you to static trapeze, aerial hoop and silks, show you basic safety rules and practice, ways to mount and dismount the equipment, and some simple but effective tricks. Be warned, aerial is as addictive as pole dancing! You will need to wear leggings and a long-sleeved t-shirt and may like to bring socks or soft ballet slippersto keep your feet warm.

Each workshop is priced at £15, or you can book both for £25. Please make payment by PayPal to ejjmitchell@clara.co.uk
